World Central Kitchen barge loaded with food is the first maritime shipment of aid to arrive in Gaza

The first maritime humanitarian aid shipment to Gaza has been unloaded on to the shore.

Gaza: Aid reaches Gaza shore in first sea delivery

"...Saturday's shipment arrived on board Spanish charity ship Open Arms. Its cargo includes beans, carrots, canned tuna, chickpeas, canned corn, parboiled rice, flour, oil, salt and pallets of dates, which hold spiritual significance during Ramadan.

It had been checked by Israeli officials in port in Cyprus.

It marks the start of a trial to see if the sea route would be more effective than air and land deliveries.

Aid agencies have repeatedly warned that no method of relief is as effective as delivery by land, but they say Israeli restrictions mean a fraction of what is needed is getting in.

Palestinians celebrate resolution

The U.N. General Assembly approved an upgraded U.N. status for the Palestinian Authority on Nov. 29, despite intense opposition from the United States and Israel. More than 130 countries voted and the resolution elevates their status to "non-member observer state," which Palestinians hope will provide leverage in their dealings with Israel.
