Gaza aid ship expected to set sail from Cyprus | BBC News

A ship carrying desperately needed humanitarian aid is expected to set sail this weekend, bound for Gaza.

The Spanish vessel is scheduled to depart from Cyprus – the closest EU country to Gaza – and hopes to use a newly opened shipping route.

The UN says a quarter of the Gaza Strip’s population is on the brink of famine and children are starving to death.

With no functioning port and shallow waters, it is still unclear where the ship will dock when it reaches Gaza.
