A Spanish ship towing a barge loaded with 200 tonnes of desperately needed food supplies for Palestinians in Gaza has finally set sail from Cyprus.
The Open Arms left Larnaca just before 09:00 (07:00 GMT) on a journey which could take as long as two days.
Gaza has no functioning port, so the US charity behind the mission, World Central Kitchen, is building a jetty to receive the aid.
The UN warns that massive aid shortages have left Gaza on the brink of famine.
