00:00 We've been involved in this maritime corridor from the start because what it's going to do is take aid from Cyprus in the Mediterranean and directly into Gaza.
00:10 What we've been doing is helping with the pre-screening of aid so you check it in Cyprus so it doesn't have to be rechecked when it arrives. That's important.
00:19 We also had the Royal Auxiliary Ship Lime Bay delivering aid from Cyprus right at the start.
00:25 But this new idea from the President of the United States, which we're involved in, of building a temporary harbour in Gaza means that aid will be able to go directly from Cyprus to Gaza.
00:35 But it's going to take time to build. So the crucial thing is today the Israelis must confirm that they'll open the port at Ashdod.
00:43 That is in Israel, but that's a working port. It can take aid now, that would increase the amount of aid, and that aid can then be driven into Gaza.
00:51 That would make a real difference and we need to make a real difference right now.
