"New Aid Ship En Route to Gaza as First Delivery Arrives Amid Security Concerns"

The first ship carrying 200 tons of food aid from World Central Kitchen has arrived in Gaza, with preparations underway to dispatch a second boat carrying more aid and heavy machinery. The aid delivery, organized with the United Arab Emirates and Cyprus, includes rice, flour, legumes, canned vegetables, and proteins. This comes as the U.S. and other allies have begun sending air drops of aid to Gaza, and President Biden announced plans for the U.S. military to build a temporary port on Gaza's coast to increase aid deliveries by sea. The deliveries are crucial as a quarter of Gaza's population is reported to be starving amidst ongoing negotiations for a temporary cease-fire.
