Upon arrival in Egypt, the cargo must be managed by the Colombian embassy in that country and delivered to the Egyptian Red Crescent, the entity in charge of storing and bringing all aid to Gaza when restrictions allow it.
On the way back, the plane will make a stop in Israel to board approximately 100 Colombians so they can return to their country.
