Shipments of aid to Gaza from Cyprus resumed late on Friday April 26th,reported Reuters, citing a Cypriot source and a UAE official. A small cargo vessel carrying food left Larnaca late Friday evening.
The World Central Kitchen NGO had paused aid to review its activity in the territory after a sustained night attack by the Israeli army on a WCK convoy, which Israel said was a case of mistaken identity.
The vessel was carrying 400 tonnes of food aid donated by the UAE, the Cypriot source and the UAE official said.
The US has started construction of a floating jetty on Gaza’s Mediterranean coast to enable aid deliveries pre-screened in Cyprus with Israeli oversight (see yesterday’s IMN).
