Only a fraction of Gaza aid from Cyprus distributed: USAID

Only 1,000 tonnes of the 7,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid shipped to war-ravaged Gaza from Cyprus has been distributed because of what USAID officials have called "insecurity".
The remaining 6,000 tonnes was on shore in secure conditions but has yet to be distributed, the officials said on Wednesday.
The sea corridor linking Cyprus with the Gaza Strip opened in March, delivering a fraction of the basic supplies needed by the 2.3 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
