Five people have been been killed in an Israeli strike on an UNRWA aid distribution centre in Rafah in southern Gaza. As several countries turn to air and sea drops of desperately-needed aid, workers in Cyprus are preparing to load food onto a second vessel before it departs for Gaza. Amid international criticism, Israel's defence minister says the country is monitoring work on a new maritime corridor to ensure aid coming by sea will not help Hamas.
The charity ship Open Arms was seen sailing out of Larnaca port, towing a barge containing flour, rice and protein. The mission was funded mostly by the United Arab Emirates and organised by U.S.-based charity World Central Kitchen (WCK).
