UNOPS: Cyprus Humanitarian Aid to Gaza is Significant

The Executive Director of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), Jorge Moreira da Silva, welcomed the dispatch of 1,200 tons of humanitarian aid from Cyprus to Gaza as a significant step.

In a post on "X", he stated that the mission took place under the UN 2720 mechanism managed by UNOPS, within the framework of the Amalthea Plan.

Mr. Da Silva stressed the need for a rapid, unimpeded, and safe flow of humanitarian aid to all citizens in need.

The shipment departed from Limassol Port and will be transshipped through Ashdod Port, with World Central Kitchen as the final contractor and distributor.

The entire undertaking is under the auspices of the UN delivery mechanism.
