PAPHOS, Cyprus — A second vessel that arrived in Cyprus as part of the international flotilla attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza is expected to set sail later tonight.

The ship, sailing under the Italian flag, docked in Paphos on Saturday and is carrying eight passengers — five European nationals and three from non-EU countries.

Two passengers received first aid from ambulance crews, though neither required hospital treatment. The vessel is expected to continue its journey toward the Gaza Strip.
