The Open Arms aid ship arrived in the Cypriot port of Larnaca, carrying a significant amount of supplies destined for the Gaza Strip. The ship, loaded with 200 metric tons of essential items such as flour, rice, and water, departed from Larnaca port in Cyprus with a mission to help the thousands in Gaza who are on the brink of famine.
Israel has agreed to collaborate with Cyprus to establish an aid corridor across the sea to Gaza, amidst reports of 27 people, including 23 children, dying of malnutrition and dehydration in the region. Aid trucks filled with much-needed supplies are currently waiting for permission to enter Gaza via crossings with Israel and Egypt.
Accusations have been made against Israel for deliberately targeting aid convoys and workers at the Rafah crossing. Despite these challenges, global aid campaigns are ramping up efforts to deliver food and supplies to Gaza, with countries and organizations from around the world stepping in to help.
The World Food Programme recently utilized a new land route to deliver food directly into northern Gaza for the first time since February. Additionally, the Open Arms charity is teaming up with chef José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen to establish a vital entry route for food and necessities into Gaza.
