Brussels | The first shipment of aid to reach the Gaza Strip by sea in almost two decades was fully unloaded on Saturday (Sunday AED) on a makeshift jetty in the Mediterranean, marking a milestone in a venture that Western officials hope will ease the enclave’s worsening food deprivation.
The ship, Open Arms, towed a barge from Cyprus loaded with about 200 tons of rice, flour, lentils and canned tuna, beef and chicken, supplied by the World Central Kitchen charity.
