First aid boat nears Gaza as war drags into Ramadan

The first Gaza-bound food shipment along a new maritime corridor was visible off the besieged territory’s coast, an AFP journalist said, as Palestinians gathered for the first Friday prayers of Ramadan.

AFP footage showed the Open Arms, which set sail from Cyprus on Tuesday, towing a barge that the Spanish charity operating it says is loaded with 200 tonnes of food for Gazans threatened with famine after more than five months of war.
