An aid ship sets sail to Gaza, where hundreds of thousands face starvation 5 months into war

LA Times  

Aid packages, at left, wait Monday on a platform to be loaded onto a docked ship belonging to the Open Arms aid group as it prepares to ferry some 200 tons of rice and flour directly to Gaza, at the port in Larnaca, Cyprus. An aid ship loaded with some 200 tons of food set sail for Gaza on Tuesday in a pilot program for the opening of a sea corridor to the territory, where the five-month Israel-Hamas war has driven hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to the brink of starvation. The Israeli military said around 100 projectiles were launched into Israel from Lebanon early on Tuesday, one of the biggest barrages since the war began. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that it was the first time a ship had been authorized to deliver aid directly to Gaza since 2005 and that the EU would work with “smaller ships” until the U.S. completes work on its floating port. Cypriot Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos said during a visit to Beirut that there is a “mechanism” in place for larger shipments, with the goal of “a more systematic exercise with increased volumes.” The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed into Israel in a surprise attack on Oct. 7, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking around 250 hostage.

The Cyprus-Gaza maritime aid corridor was a harmful publicity stunt

This was neither the first nor …
