This image does not show Egypt sending humanitarian aid to Gaza

The image shows Russian convoy carrying humanitarian aid close to the Ukraine border and it dates back to 2014. No link to the recent Hamas- Israel war

Amidst the ongoing Hamas- Israel war, Egypt has discussed plans with the United States and others to provide humanitarian aid through its border with Gaza Strip but rejects any move to set up safe corridors for refugees fleeing the enclave, Egyptian security sources said on Wednesday.

On this backdrop an image of a convoy of white trucks on a highway is going viral on social media with a claim that Egyptian president sent a humanitarian convoy to Gaza. The caption of the video states, “In direct action against #Israel, the #Egypt President orders a huge humanitarian convoy to #Gaza, even after Israel has bombed the #Rafah crossing. The Crossing will open when the convoy will arrive. #freepalestine”.

Fact Check- 

We started our investigation by running a reverse image search on Google and the results led us to a report published by The Guardian containing this viral image on 14 August 2014. The title states “Russian convoy stops close to Ukraine border,” and the image was captioned, “The convoy of trucks travels from Voronezh towards Rostov-on-Don in Russia.”

According to the report, “A large Russian convoy reportedly carrying humanitarian aid has arrived close to the border with eastern Ukraine, near a crossing point controlled by pro-Russian separatists. The route of the 280-truck convoy, which set off from the Moscow region on Tuesday, has been closely followed by journalists, observers and the international community amid fears it is a Trojan horse-style military invasion”.

Several media outlets reported this incident back in 2014. 

During the 2014 conflict in Eastern Ukraine, the Russian aid convoy sent to Luhansk was a controversial and significant event that was condemned by Western countries as a violation of Ukrainian sovereignty.

Conclusion- 

Fact Crescendo found the claim made along with the image to be false. The image shows Russian convoy carrying humanitarian aid close to the Ukraine border and it dates back to 2014. No link to the recent Hamas- Israel war
