UK sends ship to boost aid for Gaza, sets up a new maritime corridor
A British Royal Navy ship will supply aid to Gaza as part of an international effort to help set up a new humanitarian maritime corridor in early May, the foreign office and ministry of defense said on Saturday.
The multinational effort, involving the United States, Cyprus and other partners, will develop a new temporary pier off the coast of Gaza, British foreign minister David Cameron said.
"The situation in Gaza is dire, and the prospect of famine is real. We remain committed to getting aid to those who so desperately need it," Cameron said in a statement.
Cameron has also pledged 9.7 million pounds ($12.26 million) for aid equipment and logistical expertise to help set up the maritime corridor from Cyprus to Gaza, his office said.
The initiative will see aid pre-screened in Cyprus and delivered directly to Gaza through the new US temporary pier being constructed off the coast or via Ashdod Port after Israel agreed to open it, the foreign ministry said.
British defense minister Grant Shapps said the new temporary pier on the coast of Gaza would host cargo ships to deliver aid by sea.
The government said British military teams had been embedded with planning teams in the US operational headquarters in Tampa, Florida, as well as in Cyprus for several weeks to develop the safest and most effective maritime route.
Last week, the killing of seven aid workers, including three British nationals, in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza stirred global outrage and saw the dismissal of two Israeli military officers.
Britain said it would continue to call for "reform of deconfliction mechanisms", along with assurances that guarantee the safety and security of aid workers.
