The Republic of Cyprus has developed an initiative to establish a controlled and sustainable humanitarian sea corridor in order to provide unhindered and safe humanitarian help to Gaza. The President of the Republic announced the initiative on the sidelines of the recent European Council’s summit.

There have already been a series of contacts between the states involved in the area and the European Union (EU), at the highest level, as well as between other interested parties and international organisations.

The parameters of our initiative and its planning that is under study have been positively received and we have proceeded to the next stage.

Consultations on the matter continue both in Lefkosia and through the continuous contacts of the Minister of Foreign Affairs with the countries in the region.
