A ship carrying 200 tons of aid for Palestinians was seen nearing Gaza on Friday. The ship set sail for Gaza from Cyprus on Tuesday in a pilot program for the opening of a sea corridor to the territory, where the 5-month Israel-Hamas war has driven hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to the brink of starvation. The push to get food in by sea — along with a recent campaign of airdrops into isolated northern Gaza — highlighted the international community’s frustration with the growing humanitarian crisis and its inability to get aid in by road. #israelhamaswar #gaza #aid #news
