Gaza sea aid route from Cyprus functional, will be kept offshore till pier fixed

Humanitarian aid for Gaza is continuing to depart Cyprus by sea and would be kept in floating storage off the enclave until a US-built military pier undergoes repairs, a Cypriot government official said on Thursday.

The US military announced earlier in the week that a purpose-built jetty it anchored off Gaza's coast to receive aid by sea was being temporarily removed after a part of the structure broke off, two weeks after it started operating.
