An aid ship docked in Cyprus carrying 200 tonnes of food to alleviate looming famine in the Gaza Strip will leave as planned on Sunday, a government official said.
After hours of speculation, the Cyprus government spokesperson, Konstantinos Letymbiotis, told the island’s official news agency the vessel would depart on Sunday but the exact timing would not be made public for “security reasons”.
World Central Kitchen (WCK), a US-based non -governmental organisation, and the Spanish charity Open Arms, set up to rescue refugees and migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean, were expecting a first delivery of goods including rice, flour, lentils, beans and canned fish and meat to leave via an Open Arms vessel from Larnaca this weekend and arrive at an undisclosed location in Gaza in two or three days’ time.
