A second larger ship, the Jennifer, which is also a WCK mission, and which is in the port of Larnaca, was expected to leave today for Gaza
The first ship carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip that set sail from Cyprus began unloading in Gaza the cargo of 200 tons of food it carried, the representative of the Open Arms NGO responsible for the operation told AFP.
World Central Kitchen is “unloading the barge that is now attached to the temporary wharf” built southwest of Gaza City after it was towed from Cyprus by another NGO’s ship, Linda Roth said.
Today @WCKitchen is reaching 37 million meals in Gaza. On the same day that we hoped to finish our Jetty and download 200 tones on a pilot test before bad weather. So far 2 crates already delivered from the @openarms_fund barge.🙏But still more to do next few hours…#FeedTheNorth pic.twitter.com/3ECfsKalbR

The ship Open Arms, of the Spanish NGO, is transporting 200 tons of humanitarian aid, specifically food, to Gaza in collaboration with the NGO World Central Kitchen (WCK).
A second larger ship, the “Jennifer”, which is also a WCK mission, and which is in the port of Larnaca, he was expected to leave today Friday for Gaza.
Overland help is coming in—by the dropper— from Egypt at the border crossing at Rafah, after being inspected by the Israeli army. Its quantity is apparently not enough to meet the needs of the population (2.4 million), hence the calls to open other passages, for food to reach the north, and also initiatives such as airdrops of food parcels.
