    A ship carrying 200 tons of food is heading to Gaza. What to know. (Washington Post)

    Chef and humanitarian José Andrés said Tuesday that there was a “90 percent” chance that an aid ship would succeed in its mission, but he noted logistical challenges that could delay or imperil the voyage.

    ...

    The journey from Larnaca, Cyprus, to Gaza is expected to take several days

    ...

    Israel controls Gaza’s coastline and all but one land crossing into the enclave. Speaking to The Post on Tuesday, Andrés said that staff in Gaza working with World Central Kitchen had been building a jetty on the shore. The effort, which began Sunday, used only material and equipment already in Gaza, Andrés said.

    ...

    The aid would be distributed via World Central Kitchen’s existing network in Gaza, which includes more than 60 local kitchens and several warehouses, with more being built, Andrés said.

    ...

    Andrés said the simplest solution to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza was for Israel to open more land routes, especially in the north, allowing food aid to reach those in need quickest.
