A shipment of food aid destined for Gaza has departed from Cyprus, marking a crucial step in providing much-needed assistance to the besieged enclave. This comes after a deadly Israeli airstrike killed seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) workers, prompting international outrage and causing disruptions in humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
The United Arab Emirates has partnered with an aid agency to send vital assistance to Gaza through the Israeli port of Ashdod. The aid-laden vessel, named 'Jennifer,' left Cyprus and is expected to arrive at Ashdod port after a 25 to 30-hour journey. The aid, totaling 400 tons, will undergo Israeli security clearance before being transported to Gaza through the Kerem Shalom border crossing.
