In a large-scale field operation underscoring Egypt’s firm humanitarian commitment to the Palestinian people, the Egyptian Committee for Humanitarian Relief and Support for the Palestinian People launched extensive land-clearing operations today in the Netzarim area, south of the Gaza Strip. The operation represents the first phase in the establishment of Gaza’s largest humanitarian shelter site, spanning approximately 2,000 dunams.
The initiative seeks to secure safe, dignified, and sustainable shelter solutions for over 15,000 Palestinian families rendered homeless amid the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
From the early hours of the morning, Egyptian engineering convoys and heavy equipment have been systematically deployed from Al-Zawayda via Salah al-Din Road toward the Netzarim site, underscoring the magnitude and operational readiness of Egypt’s humanitarian intervention on the ground.
The Egyptian Committee for Humanitarian Relief and Support to the Palestinian People confirmed that this initiative is part of a comprehensive plan to establish new humanitarian shelter sites across northern and southern Gaza, aimed at providing a safe and secure environment for displaced families while facilitating the delivery of critical humanitarian assistance.
Work is progressing at an accelerated pace under the supervision of the Committee’s specialized engineering teams, who are preparing and leveling the terrain to accommodate shelters and essential service infrastructure, ensuring an organized and dignified response to the urgent needs of affected populations.
This operation highlights Egypt’s unwavering commitment to advancing humanitarian and development initiatives in the Gaza Strip, transforming its solidarity with the Palestinian people into concrete, life-changing projects on the ground.
