Cyprus says aid held off Gaza coast after pier damage
[GEO.TV] Cyprus has said humanitarian aid shipped to war-torn Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
is being kept afloat off the Paleostinian territory’s coast after a US-built pier was damaged by bad weather.

"No aid was sent today, but the one [shipment] that left two days ago is now being stored using a floating mechanism until the dock is fully repaired," said government front man Konstantinos Letymbiotis.

Letymbiotis said the United States had told Cyprus that "within the next few days, possibly in the middle of next week, the pier would be able to handle humanitarian cargo again."

"The transfer of humanitarian aid and its storage have not stopped in any degree," he said, adding aid would continue to leave the eastern Mediterranean island for the Gaza Strip.

#3 Cyprus is a divided country. Was this the Greek side or Turkish side. Konstantinos Letymbiotis sounds Greek to me.

#6 Was this the Greek side or Turkish side.

The Greek side. The Turkish side has nothing to do with Israel or anywhere else, as far as I can tell.
