Getting humanitarian aid to Gaza by sea? Cyprus has a plan | DW News

Cyprus is preparing to become a hub for a humanitarian aid operation for Gaza. The government of Cyprus has told DW that preparations have now taken a big step forward. Cyprus says it’s now working on technical, not political, issues. Currently the only way to get aid into Gaza is from Egypt via the Rafah crossing. But that is often closed.
Cyprus plans to use its port of Larnaca to gather international aid and send it on to Gaza, as it is one of the closest places in the EU to the Strip.
