The first humanitarian aid ship using a new maritime corridor departed Cyprus yesterday and headed to Gaza, where more than 1 million people face an increasing threat of starvation and reports of malnutrition --related deaths are rising, according to health officials and organizations, the USA Today website reports today (March 13, 2024).
The food shortage and exorbitant prices for what's available are especially dire in the north amid Israel's restrictors on aid .
The vessel, towing a barge with 200 tons of food, collected by the nonprofit World Central Kitchen, carries the first shipment of aid sent by sea to the territory since the war started.
