European Union has set up a sea route from Cyprus to Gaza. The ship Open Arms left the port of Larnaca, approximately 370 kilometers from Gaza, on the morning of Tuesday, October 12.
Under Israeli land, air and sea blockade for sixteen years, Gaza has no port, which complicates the disembarkation of the humanitarian ship. World Central Kitchen teams are working "day and night" on the construction of a pier, says the NGO, which has extensive experience in providing humanitarian aid around the world.
