Greece is looking into the possibility of a sea corridor to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, diplomatic sources said on Sunday.

"Greece, which from the first moment stressed the need to avoid a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, is exploring the possibility of setting up a humanitarian sea corridor to transport basic essential goods to the region," the sources said.

"For this plan, which is operationally complex - and to which the French president, Emmanuel Macron, referred on Friday - the Greek government is in talks with the parties directly involved, as well as with its European partners and international organisations," the sources added.
