British aid shipment leaves Cyprus bound for Gaza pier


 

A British shipment of nearly 100 tonnes of aid has left Cyprus bound for a new temporary pier in Gaza, the British Foreign Office said in a statement on Wednesday.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said “ We are leading international efforts with the U.S. and Cyprus to establish a maritime aid corridor. Today’s first shipment of British aid from Cyprus to the temporary pier off Gaza is an important moment in increasing this flow.”

The shipment comprised of 8,400 shelter coverage kits: temporary shelters made up of plastic sheeting.
Britain said the pier would allow the delivery of an estimated 90 truckloads of international aid into Gaza each day, potentially rising to 150 truckloads a day once fully operational.
