Τhe first dispatch of humanitarian aid from abroad for Gaza is expected to arrive in Cyprus within the next few days, Deputy Government Spokesperson, Yiannis Antoniou, has told CNA.

Antoniou added that Qatar has also conveyed its willingness to the President of the Republic, Nikos Christodoulides, to support the initiative for the humanitarian aid corridor.

Antoniou also said that the Emir of Qatar has conveyed to President Christodoulides his country’s intention to assist with medical and nursing personnel in staffing France's floating hospital in the area off Gaza, to help in the process of checking the contents of the containers arriving with humanitarian aid at the port of Larnaca, but also with the creation of a port infrastructure in the Gaza Strip for the immediate delivery of aid.

The port of Larnaca will be used for humanitarian aid, Antoniou explained, due to its proximity to the city's airport, as most countries will send aid by air.

He added it will be decided on how to deliver the aid, based on the quantities that will be gathered in food, basic necessities, and essential and medical materials, but also on the technical issues that will arise.
