Spanish charity Open Arms vows more Gaza food aid, appeals to others to step up

The director of Spanish charity Proactiva Open Arms that delivered 200 tonnes of food aid to Gaza this week said he is determined to keep the deliveries going despite the significant danger to his team from the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
He also urged other “more powerful, wealthy states and organisations” to do the same using a new maritime corridor from Cyprus to the stricken enclave.
Oscar Camps, who was onboard the salvage vessel that left Cyprus on March 12 for a 200-mile (320 kilometre) voyage across the eastern Mediterranean to Gaza, described the perilous sea conditions that complicated the delivery to a makeshift jetty, and the significant danger to delivery teams on land.
Camps said it took seven hours to move a barge roped to the ship to a jetty made from destroyed buildings and rubble for it to be unloaded in rough seas.
