The spanish vessel hopes to use a new Shipping Route to arrive the next few days but where it will arrive is still up in the air. No Functioning Port in gaza so it is unclear where that boat will dock. The ship called the open arms will set off. Its taken an enormous effort to even get this far with this relief mission. But the real challenge will come as they get closer to gaza. It might take as long as 2 3 days for them to make the 210 nautical miles from here in cyprus to gaza. But when they get there, they are arriving at a territory that has no Functioning Port so they have to off load that aid, and in the north of gaza distributing aid, its the most badly affected, most desperately in need part of gaza. Distributing aid there is extremely difficult. All Law And Order has broken down there, its absolute chaos on the ground, so they were also have to manage that. That will be a Great Success if they managed to open this first maritime aid quarter. There are others who say, in fact,
More food into the besieged enclave. A us military ship is also sailing towards the middle east, carrying equipment to build a temporary pier off the coast of gaza which has no Functioning Port to get aid there by sea. Israel has been accused of preventing aid getting into gaza, and us President Joe Biden says Benjamin Netanyahus conduct in the war is doing israel more harm than good. My colleague anna foster is in jerusalem and gave us this update. First of all, to the Skies Above Gaza and these pictures that show the latest drop of aid that has been carried out by Us Central Command and also by thejordanian air force as well. This is the latest air drop into gaza, which provided, they said, meals more than 11,500 meal equivalents. Things like food, including rice, flour, pasta and canned food. Weve seen these air drops really starting to increase over gaza in the last two weeks or so, since the us air force also got involved. But of course it is still nowhere near to meeting the huge
Win big at the oscars . Hello, im anna foster, live injerusalem. Lets look at the latest situation around gaza. You are seeing a moment ago images of a fresh airdrop of aid happening over gaza this morning. We know the us military along with the Jordanian Air force have been carrying out regular airdrops of aid with their parachutes and the pellets are heading down to the people below who so desperately need them. But there is another option to take aid in now starting to come into play as well, and that is the option of taking aid into gaza by sea. The us army says one of its Military Support Ships has set off from the us, it has set off from The Port Of Virginia and it is heading to gaza to build a temporary port to enable ships to unload aid, but that is expected to take two months before it is in place a temporary pier. And there is this cypriot ship, a spanish ship in cyprus are loaded and waiting for clearance to head towards gaza. This is the latest. There is little hope to be f

The Israeli Military kill seven aid workers in gaza, including three britons, the Prime Minister calls it appalling, the opposition says this war must stop now. The israeli pm says the attack was an unintentional tragic incident, but western allies want answers. Why were three clearly marked humanitarian vehicles that had just delivered 100 tons of aid to alleviate potential famine in gaza targeted . And what was already agreed by the Un Security Council as a catastrophic humanitarian situation for palestinians will get worse now as Aid Organisations suspend their deliveries, and an aid ship turns back, amid safety fears. Why did this happen and what will the consequences be . We talk to a spokespeson for the Israeli Government. It looks like there was an accident and a convoy was accidentally hit and a convoy was accidentally hit and that are subject to a full investigation. And an oxfam co ordinator in ramallah.
