Aid ship expected to arrive in Gaza

An aid ship organised by a Spanish-based charity is expected to arrive in Gaza in the coming days. The ship will dock at a temporary pier currently under construction in a separate initiative to a plan announced by US President Joe Biden. Leaving Cyprus, the vessel is carrying almost 200 tonnes of food supplies – including rice, beans and lentils. The United Nations estimates a quarter of the population in Gaza is at risk of starvation. According to Gazan Health Authorities, more than 30,000 have been killed in Israeli attacks on the region since October 7.
