A second boat loaded with humanitarian aid left the port of Larnaca on Saturday. The ship, accompanied by two tugboats, will take around 65 hours to reach the Gaza Strip.
The American NGO World Central Kitchen specified that the cargo contained food products, such as rice, pasta, flour, vegetables and proteins. For its part, the United Arab Emirates provided a shipment of dates, which are traditionally eaten to break the fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The aid should be transported to Gaza via a temporary jetty built by the NGO.
