Cyprus is playing a significant role in coordinating international efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The United States is involved in creating a maritime humanitarian corridor to Gaza, with the construction of a temporary pier for aid transfer. Cyprus is facilitating the use of its port facilities and leading coordination efforts with various countries, including the US, the UK, the EU, and the United Arab Emirates. The European Union is actively participating in the corridor, with discussions ongoing to increase overall assistance.
