"Humanitarian Aid Ships Depart Cyprus for Gaza Amid Rising Concerns"

A three-ship convoy carrying nearly 400 tonnes of food and supplies has departed Cyprus for Gaza, as the region faces an imminent famine amid Israel's blockade of aid. The shipment, financed mainly by the UAE, includes essential food items and is intended to provide over one million meals. The UN and humanitarian groups have warned of the dire situation in Gaza, with the UN-backed global authority on food security predicting famine by May in northern Gaza. Efforts to deliver aid by sea and air are ongoing, but there are challenges in distributing aid due to a lack of security, cooperation with Israeli authorities, and a scarcity of trucks in the enclave under siege.

"New Aid Ship Sets Sail for Gaza Amid Distribution Dilemma"

A shipment of aid has arrived in Gaza, but there are discrepancies over its distribution, with World Central Kitchen saying the aid is still awaiting distribution while Israeli officials claim it has been distributed. A second aid ship is being prepared to sail for Gaza. The arrival of aid comes amid mounting frustrations over the lack of aid flowing into Gaza, where Palestinians are facing starvation. The U.S. and its international partners have pushed for Israel to increase the flow of aid into Gaza, with plans to build a temporary port to facilitate future maritime deliveries.

"Aid Ship Nears Gaza with 200 Tons of Food as Palestinians Starve"

A ship carrying 200 tons of aid from Cyprus approaches Gaza to inaugurate a new sea route, aiming to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the enclave. The aid, sent by World Central Kitchen, includes food such as rice, flour, and canned meat. Israel has been under pressure to allow more aid into Gaza, with the United States and other countries joining in airdropping supplies. However, aid groups emphasize the need for safe corridors for truck convoys. The war between Israel and Hamas has led to devastating conditions in Gaza, with the aid shipment intended to pave the way for larger deliveries.

"Humanitarian Aid Ship Departs Cyprus for Gaza Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict"

A ship carrying 200 tons of food aid, including rice, flour, and meat, has departed Cyprus for Gaza, marking the first authorized sea shipment to the region since 2005. Meanwhile, Hezbollah fired over 100 rockets into northern Israel, drawing retaliation, and Israel struck an area used by a high-ranking Hamas leader in Gaza. The U.N. Security Council held an emergency session to discuss accusations of sexual violence against Israeli women during the recent conflict, and Israel's military lightly rebuked a general for ordering the demolition of a university building in Gaza without permission.

Uncertainty Looms as Truck Stalls on Road to Azerbaijan Breakaway Region

A truck carrying aid to Azerbaijan's breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region was left idling by a road, despite a deal announced by both the government and ethnic Armenian separatists to open the route for the first time in decades. The agreement, which would have allowed a Russian shipment of aid to cross into Nagorno-Karabakh, remains unclear as neither side has offered a full public explanation. Azerbaijan has imposed a blockade on the region, and tensions have escalated in recent days. Armenia's relations with Russia have deteriorated, with Yerevan accusing Moscow of failing to restore transport links to the territory.
