Lebanese Islamist movement claims to have acted in retaliation for an Israeli air strike which left one dead the day before in eastern Lebanon. The first boat using the humanitarian maritime corridor between Cyprus and the Gaza Strip set sail Tuesday morning towards the Palestinian territory.
The sending of aid by sea and airdrops by several countries, which have become daily in recent days, cannot replace the land route, indicates the UN. This boat is carrying around 200 tonnes of food (rice, flour, canned goods, etc.) which must be distributed in Gaza.
