Breaking the Gaza aid bottleneck: 106-tonne delivery arrives via new sea route

(UN News) The World Health Organization (WHO) has facilitated the delivery of some 106 metric tonnes of lifesaving nutrition supplies to the Gaza Strip – the first shipment via a mechanism to deliver aid by sea, in line with a UN Security Council resolution and amid the ongoing war in the Middle East. The consignment through the WHO Humanitarian Bridge Initiative in Cyprus arrived at Ashdod port in Israel and is being prepared for onward distribution to the devastated enclave. “This shipment marks a significant operational milestone in strengthening WHO’s interregional humanitarian logistics capacity for a region affected by the ongoing conflict, particularly in Gaza,” the UN agency said. – Breaking the Gaza aid bottleneck: 106-tonne delivery arrives via new sea route | UN News
