STORYLINE:
Türkiye sent Tuesday its ninth ship to the Gaza Strip carrying 3,774 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including food, baby supplies, sleeping bags, and gluten-free products.
The humanitarian ship, prepared by the Turkish Red Crescent, departed from the southern port of Mersin, according to the Turkish NGO.
"Our aids are not one-time or short-term. Our aid will continue until all the needs in Gaza are over. They are continuous aids," said Turkish Red Crescent President Fatma Meric Yilmaz at the send-off ceremony.
The vessel will reach Egypt's Al-Arish port, the closest port to Gaza, after a 40-hour sea voyage.
Türkiye had sent humanitarian supplies in 13 planes and eight ships after the Israel-Hamas conflict broke out last October.
