Nikos Christodoulides, the president of Cyprus, says the deadly Israeli attack on an aid convoy in Gaza should not impede efforts to get food into the enclave, Al Jazeera reports.

“We need to double down on efforts to get aid to Gaza,” said Christodoulides, whose country opened the only maritime corridor to ship humanitarian relief into Gaza.

He described the World Central Kitchen (WCK), the charity group whose convoy was hit, as a “crucial partner” in this operation.
