The ninth “Goodness Ship" which left Türkiye with 3,774 tons of humanitarian aid materials for the Gaza Strip, continued its journey Wednesday in the Mediterranean Sea.
Departing from a port in the southern Mersin province Tuesday, the ship, loaded with food, baby supplies, sleeping bags and flour provided by the Turkish Red Crescent, is expected to arrive Thursday at Egypt's El-Arish Port.
The aid materials will be unloaded at the port and transported to the Rafah Border Crossing by trucks.
After customs procedures, the materials will be handed to the Palestine Red Crescent.
The Palestine Red Crescent will then distribute the aid to those in need in Gaza.
A total of 39,697 tons of various humanitarian aid materials have been so far delivered to Gaza in 13 planes and eight ships in cooperation with the Turkish Red Crescent and the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority, or AFAD.
