In the quest to aid Gaza, the Amalthea Plan stands as a beacon of hope, aiming to establish a direct maritime corridor for humanitarian assistance. Despite challenges like disruptions to critical infrastructure, dedicated officials and organizations persevere, showing unwavering commitment to bringing muchneeded aid to those in need.
The repair of a pier in Gaza has allowed humanitarian aid from Cyprus to resume, with a recordbreaking delivery of 1.4 million pounds of supplies on June 20. A total of 9.1 million pounds of aid have been distributed through this temporary pier, highlighting the international commitment to support Gaza’s relief efforts.
The Amalthea initiative, with support from the US, UAE, and European Commission, continues to provide aid to Gaza through established corridors despite recent attacks on aid workers. President Nikos Christodoulides of Cyprus reaffirmed commitment to the initiative, symbolized by the construction of a temporary jetty set to revolutionize aid delivery by midApril, showcasing global solidarity and resilience in crisis response.
The United States is exploring aid delivery routes to Gaza through Cyprus, including airdrops, maritime passages, and overland supply routes, to overcome logistical challenges and provide timely support to the region. This collaborative effort between the US, Cyprus, and other nations signifies a strategic move towards promoting stability in the Eastern Mediterranean while addressing the urgent humanitarian needs of Gaza’s population.
