A knowledgeable source reported today, Wednesday, that "humanitarian aid is expected to sail from Cyprus to Gaza in the coming days." It is still unclear which country will provide the aid, its destination, or how it will be distributed. The source mentioned that the aid is being coordinated with the UAE. The source told Reuters, on condition of anonymity, that they "want to send the aid before the start of Ramadan" on Sunday. Cyprus is located 370 kilometers northwest of Gaza in the Mediterranean Sea and is the closest EU country to the region.
