The United Arab Emirates is preparing to increase aid deliveries into Gaza, an envoy says, noting that a sea corridor from Cyprus is essential alongside land and air access.
“Maintaining multiple entry points into Gaza remains incredibly important,” Minister of State Lana Nusseibeh says after an inspection of aid accumulating at the port of Limassol in Cyprus.
“As this plan moves forward, access to Gaza by land, air and sea is going to remain critical,” she tells reporters.
Despite the ceasefire, far too little aid is reaching Gaza, humanitarian agencies charged on Tuesday.
Some 22,000 tons of pre-screened aid have been dispatched from Cyprus under the so-called Amalthea Initiative launched last year. Some of it reached Gaza directly via a short-lived temporary pier set up by the US last year, while other shipments have been dispatched to the port of Ashdod in Israel.
