| 2016-07-04 |
| A Turkish aid ship carrying 11,000 tons of supplies for the Gaza Strip arrived at Israel’s Ashdod port on July 3. Turkish diplomats and Israeli Foreign Ministry deputy spokesperson Oren Rozenblat were present at the port as the Panama-flagged Lady Leyla docked. The ship carried around 10,000 toys and 10,000 packages of food and aid for children in Gaza. It also carried five tons of flour and 2,000 tons of rice aid from the Turkish Grain Board, as well as sugar aid from the Turkish Red Crescent. The ship set sail on June 30 following a reconciliation deal reached between Turkey and Israel on June 27, after six years of strained relations. |
