Workers have been unpacking the 200 tons of food aid on smaller boats off the shore of the Gaza City neighborhood of Sheikh Ajleen, according to a journalist on the scene who works for CNN.


The initiative is led by the non-profit World Central Kitchen (WCK) of chef Jose Andres and the ship is run the Spanish charity Open Arms.

In a joint statement, 25 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) called on states to prioritize a ceasefire and increased land-based aid deliveries, warning that maritime aid may set a dangerous precedent that undermines land routes and allows for prolonged hostilities, Khadr Al-Za’anoun of Wafa, the official Palestinian news agency, also reported.

The ship is carrying 500,000 meals that WCK will distribute in war-ravaged Gaza – where hundreds of thousands of the enclave’s 2 million people are on the brink of famine. This is the first batch of aid Gaza has received by sea since the war began and is part of an international effort to step up relief to the besieged enclave.


States have recently been airdropping aid into Gaza, and now hope to launch a maritime corridor that will allow more ships to deliver food and supplies to the territory.
