An aid ship sails from Cyprus to Gaza, and UNRWA confirms the priority of land crossings. The ship was scheduled to set off on Sunday to inaugurate this sea corridor, which will be managed by the United States and the European Union.

US President Joe Biden recently announced that his country would build a temporary dock for aid ships to dock in the Gaza Strip. UN bodies and humanitarian organizations also criticized the step of airdropping aid into the Strip as they considered it limited in size, in addition to what it might cause.
