Another ship, which will carry humanitarian aid from the Greek Cypriot administration to Gaza, is planned to set sail after the loading process, a charity said on Saturday.

Hundreds of tons of food supplies, including pallets of dates, "which hold spiritual significance during Ramadan" were being loaded on a ship at Larnaca Port, U.S.-based charity World Central Kitchen said on its X account.

It did not share further information.

According to Alithia newspaper's website, the amount of humanitarian aid to be sent to Gaza via the second ship has been determined at 500 tons.
