A boat carrying approximately 332 tons of humanitarian aid departed Gaza without unloading most of its cargo after a deadly Israeli military strike that resulted in the deaths of several aid workers, as reported by the Cypriot foreign ministry.
The vessel, which was coordinated by the non-profit organization World Central Kitchen (WCK), decided to return to Cyprus after the strike on Monday claimed the lives of seven WCK staff members, according to Theodoros Gotsis, a spokesperson for the ministry.
