A Libyan-backed ship carrying humanitarian goods for Gaza docked Thursday at Al Arish in northern Egypt and unloaded tons of aid from the Gadhafi Foundation, a charity headed by the son of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.

The vessel reached Egypt after sailing from Greece on Saturday with 2,000 tons of aid. It was the latest ship attempting to breach an Israeli naval blockade of the Palestinian territory of Gaza whose captain was persuaded to dock elsewhere instead.
The aid includes food, medicine, and construction materials to be taken from the port to the Gaza border about 25 miles (42 km) away.
The Gadhafi Foundation refers to the ship as the Hope, although it appears to be registered as the MV Amalthea. It is Moldovan-flagged and run by ACA Shipping, based in Greece.
Israel came under fierce international criticism after Israeli navy commandos boarded a Gaza-bound Turkish aid ship in May and killed nine people.
The Israeli assault on the Turkish ship reverberated internationally and highlighted the Gaza blockade.
Israel has resisted demands for an international inquiry into the incident.
