• Aid to Gaza shipped through Cyprus's Amalthea scheme has been successfully unloaded at Ashdod port, marking a significant step in humanitarian efforts aimed at assisting the Palestinian population.

The unloading process took place smoothly over two days, Tuesday and Wednesday, ensuring that all logistical operations were carried out as planned. The consignment, weighing 1,200 tonnes, is now set for further transport to a designated crossing point into Gaza, with every detail coordinated with relevant authorities to ensure a swift and efficient transfer.

Currently, the vessel responsible for this mission remains at Ashdod port, preparing to transport 52 empty containers back to Limassol. These containers previously held the pre-screened aid from Cyprus and will be reused in future humanitarian efforts.

The Amalthea initiative represents Cyprus’s commitment to establishing a humanitarian corridor, allowing essential supplies to reach civilians in Gaza amidst ongoing challenges. As the situation continues to evolve, officials reaffirm their dedication to maintaining this vital lifeline for those in need.
