SHOTLIST: EGYPT (OCT. 15, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) 1. TÜRKİYE'S 17TH 'GOODNESS SHIP' CARRYING HUMANITARIAN AID TO GAZA SAILING AT SEA EGYPT - OCT. 15: Türkiye’s 17th “Goodness Ship,” carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, continued its course from Mersin Port in southern Türkiye toward Egypt’s Al Arish Port on Wednesday, Oct. 15. The ship loaded with around 900 tons of humanitarian aid materials aimed at meeting the basic needs of the people of Gaza, departed Tuesday from Mersin International Port for Egypt’s Al Arish Port. The shipment, organized under the coordination of Türkiye’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) and in cooperation with the Egyptian Red Crescent, included contributions of 17 nongovernmental organizations. The aid will reach the Karem Abu Salem border crossing via Egypt’s Al Arish Port, the nearest port to Gaza. Prepared to help meet the essential needs of Gaza residents, the aid packages include ready-to-eat food, canned goods, and baby formula. Since the start of Israel’s attacks on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, Türkiye has delivered humanitarian assistance through 16 ships and 14 aircraft under AFAD’s coordination. A ceasefire was reached last week, as part of US President Donald Trump's plan to permanently end the war that killed more than 67,000 Palestinians and destroyed the enclave.
