A second vessel filled with food aid is set to depart from Cyprus to Gaza on Saturday, the island's president said.
On Friday, around 200 tons of food arrived in the enclave, the first maritime shipment in a new aid route to the Gaza Strip.
"The first ship has started its return to Cyprus, and we are ready to dispatch the second ship," Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides said on Saturday.
The new shipment, which is around 240 tons, will include pallets of canned goods and bulk products.
