Gaza Aid Resumes After Pause: Cypriot Ship Carries Food to Besieged Palestinian Enclave

 

Aid shipments to Gaza from Cyprus have resumed after a temporary pause. According to a Cypriot source, a ship carrying food departed from the port of Larnaca late on Friday. This resumption comes after Israel’s killing of seven aid workers, which had prompted a review of aid activity in the territory by the World Central Kitchen NGO. The United Arab Emirates donated the aid, and it will be delivered to the besieged Palestinian enclave.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has resulted in a dire humanitarian situation for the enclave’s more than 2 million inhabitants. The U.S. has also initiated the construction of a floating jetty on Gaza’s Mediterranean coast, which will facilitate aid deliveries pre-screened in Cyprus with Israeli oversight. However, even after reaching Gaza, the aid will still need to pass through Israeli checkpoints on land.
