European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen has said that a maritime corridor to Gaza could begin operating this weekend to boost aid to the territory. This corridor would connect Cyprus and Gaza. It comes a day after President Biden said the US planned to build a temporary port in Gaza.  EU Commission head said a pilot test run of food aid collected by a charity group and supported by the United Arab Emirates could be leaving Cyprus today. The UN says a quarter of Gaza's population is on the brink of famine and children are starving to death. <br />''<br />''The US and other nations have already resorted to airdropping of humanitarian aid but aid organisations said it can't meet the soaring need.<br />
