"International Allies Establish Maritime Corridor for Humanitarian Aid to Gaza"

The European Commission, Cyprus, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States have announced plans to open a maritime corridor to deliver humanitarian assistance to Gaza, with Cyprus leading the Amalthea Initiative to securely ship aid from Cyprus to Gaza via sea. The United States will lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in Gaza, in coordination with humanitarian partners and other countries, to enable the delivery of significant quantities of assistance by sea. The initiative aims to supplement land and air routes, including from Egypt and Jordan, and to work with Israel to expand deliveries by land while ensuring the protection of civilian lives.
