Aid Ship Set to Sail from Cyprus to Gaza on New Corridor, Charity Says

The ship belonging to the Open Arms aid group is seen docked as it prepares to ferry some 200 tons of rice and flour directly to Gaza, at Larnaca harbor, Cyprus, on March 8, 2024.

A U.S. charity said it was loading aid for Gaza onto a boat in Cyprus, the first shipment to the war-ravaged territory along a maritime corridor the EU Commission hopes will open this weekend.
