The ship contained 130 pallets of humanitarian equipment, 115 tons of food and water, which were transferred to 12 trucks of the WCK organization, which will distribute them to the northern area of the Gaza Strip.
This is as part of the overall humanitarian effort that the United Arab Emirates leads to the Gaza Strip in coordination with Israel.
The vessel and the goods underwent a comprehensive security check.
The introduction of humanitarian aid was carried out in coordination and subject to an agreement with civil society.
The IDF spokesperson emphasized that the introduction of humanitarian aid does not affect the validity of the maritime security blockade.
Today it was announced that a shipment of aid destined for Gaza washed ashore in Bat Yam. The packages apparently landed from the air in the Mediterranean Sea and washed ashore. Professional cleaning teams cleaned the beaches and the seawater from the food packages that were scattered. The food products found on the beach are sold in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, but they can be found in many Arab countries. About two days ago, a similar shipment fell with its parachute off the coast of Tel Aviv. Coast patrol volunteers of the Nature and Parks Authority went on an operation to rescue the package from the sea.
