An aid ship called “The Goodness” has departed from Turkiye’s Mersin port, carrying 900 tonnes of food and baby formula for people in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports, citing Anadolu agency.

The humanitarian shipment, organised by Turkiye’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) in coordination with 17 NGOs and Egypt’s Red Crescent, comes as the Turkish government has become a key supporter of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, including as a mediator.
