Cyprus has said it is in talks with parties in the Middle East and the European Union over its suggestion to establish a humanitarian aid corridor from the island to Gaza, Reuters reports.

“We are continuing diplomatic contacts with states of the region, the EU and the United Nations for this very important humanitarian corridor to become possible,” Cypriot government spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis told a news briefing.

Details of how the corridor would work — including which authority would be running it and security issues — were still being discussed, sources said.
