Germany will participate in the planned maritime corridor for aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip. The Bundeswehr is already examining whether the sea bridge for Gaza could also be supported by the navy.
According to EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the maritime corridor is due to start shortly. All 2.2 million people living there are on the brink of famine, according to the UN World Food Program. The Israeli army is using massive military force in the Gaza strip after Hamas militants carried out a brutal terrorist attack on Israel on October 7.
