A ship carrying 200 tonnes of aid for Gaza left Cyprus in a pilot project to open a sea route to deliver supplies to a population aid agencies say is on the brink of famine.

Besson, was also en route to provide humanitarian relief to Gaza by sea. The U.N. humanitarian office welcomed efforts to provide aid by sea and air, but warned it would not be enough.
