LARNACA, Cyprus March 10 (Reuters) - A ship carrying tonnes of food for Gaza remained docked in a Cyprus port on Sunday as preparations were underway to launch a yet untested maritime aid route to the enclave, where the United Nations estimates a quarter of the population faces starvation.

The Open Arms, a salvage vessel, plans to tow a barge with 200 tonnes of food, mostly funded by the UAE. The supplies were sourced by charity World Central Kitchen (WCK), which is working with Spanish non-governmental organisation Proactiva Open Arms.

WCK said it has another 500 tonnes of supplies in Cyprus, which will be dispatched in future missions.
However, the timing on the departure for the aid was unclear. Packing the cargo was completed late on Saturday, but one source said the departure was partly contingent on creating a makeshift jetty in Gaza to facilitate deliveries since the strip has no port infrastructure.

WCK is now constructing that jetty out of rubble.

1. Andres is a hero!

Feeding people is the right thing to do. Everyone deserves to be fed. From innocent children to lazy folks who don't want to work to hard working underpaid people to imprisoned murderers. I believe it should be a basic right.

4. If Chef Andres doesn't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, who does?

He is the consummate humanitarian

5. Someone certainly needs to do it

One good thing about making it out of rubble, bombing it can't make it any worse.

I hope enough engineers are on the job to make it stable enough to bring in supplies.

6. God bless Chef Jose.

I made sure to buy the officially licensed "is potato" T-shirt and hoodie from Stephen Colbert because all profits went to WCK.
