the, the business deal news live from the land and use the car it or to bring desperately needed a to gas off the open arms supply vessel unless cleared to sail. carrying humanitarian supplies from cyprus, corresponded with bullets from inside the control room ports of monica. not much to celebrate as palestinians prepared for the most of the month of ramadan, with even basic necessities out of reach for many displays. families just one to return to their own homes at portugal has to the polls, the general elections, corruption scandals of dentists support for the mainstream parties. and the fall

arrives hoping to exploit that. the antonio radical welcome to the program. a ship loaded with a monetary and aid has been given the old flat to set sail from cyprus to gaza. the open arms a supply vessel is expected to leave the port of la mancha. any minute, any moment now carrying 200 tons of rice law and pro chains, 2 guys of which i see wells central kitchen is providing the assistance that will take the vessel and estimated 60 hours to reach kaiser once it's set sale, using the newly established maritime aid card on correspond, rosie budget is a lot like a cypress, with that shipment of 8 is expected to depart any time. no. we're at

a special operations hub in the city of lauren eco, where separate officials are able to track and look at these new maritime cards, or which is know really starting from here in the city of learned echo so that a boats can reach gaza safely and that much needed meeting voice we understand should be assessing off very soon. so in this room of writing may, you'll see there are cameras where officials kind of monitor what's happening at the ports. we also see, for example, lots of maps that shows the area where is 6th street officials can deploy. for example, search and rescue vessels if the ship were to get into distress. i've been speaking with the pre officials and the very latest from them take listen to what we have to say. we have to finish the inspection and loading of the vessel of open arms vessel and the platform they are using. so the most important part is that everything is ready and commissions have been granted. and now it's

a scheduling issue for the angel that is handling the c, rosie. i'm just talking about the settling issue that we have an idea of the exact time when this is going to get the all clear in the coming iris. what i understand is that the n g o, which is prepared to receive this aid on the gauze and site is still busy building its temporary pier in order to actually receive this note, this is a 1st of its kind of delivery. it's a delivery of tons, hundreds of tons i've been told of things like slower of rice or protein like tend to to and of course we know that is much needed in gaza, where there really is a humanitarian disaster. and officials here hoping they can rump up these chords or over the next few weeks to see this voyage really seen as a test for trying to get this done. the idea is but secret officials check the

goods here in cyprus, overseen by israeli officials before the parts so that they can go directly to gaza . now we have our whoever hearing from united nations official say this maritime court or wallets. welcome use is no replacement for land access and so those calls to increase access into it goes up via traditional loans crossings are still 19, particularly for the united nations. and rosie were just looking that um, early as you were speaking to a live looking at live images of the vessel that we have the images of the vessel. um, how long is it likely to take to get to its destination and deliver what uh these desperately needed. 8 so cypress is the point into your opinion, which is the closest to go also, but it's still some 400 kilometers. so make no mistake. this is not an easy journey, and generally we should take about $50.00, so at least

a full day of sailing. but given the fact that base boat is taking a heavy cargo, it could be that takes much longer certainly into a couple of days. so this is no mean feat and certainly something that you can see the eyes of separate officials bearing down on this to try and make sure this works . because of course, as we know where the lives are at stake here, the united nations has been warding, of famine and gaza. i should say that israel says 8, facilitate the access of age. israel has welcomed this initiative, although israel has also faced criticism, particularly for and chose for what they say really is that lack of humanitarian access and how difficult it has been to get life saving 8, introduce each territory of c, w correspondent, rosie pressure and lanika, cypress efforts to secure a sci fi and guys out before the start of ramadan have stalled war and hunger overshadowing the eve of the muslim holy month. 8 agencies, a international efforts to ramp up deliveries of humanitarian supplies by and now

by see not the effective enough in parts of gaza. ramadan decorations and food are still available, but not the prices. most people can afford to give you that there are no jobs left, no loss or no electricity. people are selling their belongings to live. right? sounds good, but to me i don't run into is very hard on us. what i'm going to get done. i mess with it. for most palestinians food to break rama downs daily. fast will be hard to come by. my. well, wow. yeah, i mean, we have rarely each and is whether it is rama done or not. yeah, i mean it's a hyundai, you always remain hungry is major medical executive mr. bell as well as eve. and rafa parents are getting creative to help children celebrate the sun. ramadan is
