The Open Arms is loaded with aid before setting off for Gaza
A ship taking almost 200 tonnes of food to Gaza left a port in Cyprus early on Tuesday, in a pilot project to open a new sea route of aid to a population on the brink of famine.
The charity ship Open Arms was seen sailing out of Larnaca port in Cyprus, towing a barge containing flour, rice and protein.
The ship belongs to a Spanish charity of the same name.
Exactly where it plans to dock when it reaches Gaza has not been disclosed.
