The European Commission and several countries, including the United States, are working to establish a maritime corridor to supply the Gaza Strip with humanitarian aid. The idea is to deliver aid by sea from the island of Cyprus, an EU country located less than 400 kilometers from the coast of Gaza.
The humanitarian situation on site is disastrous: trucks are arriving in trickles, recent airdrops are largely insufficient, and this maritime system still seems very vague. Around 2.3 million Palestinians live in the bombed-out Gaza Strip since Hamas attacks in Israel on October 7.
