Overview
- A CMA CGM container vessel left Le Havre on Jan. 18 carrying 21 containers of Plumpy’Doz supplements produced by Nutriset.
- Nutriset says it manufactured the 383-tonne batch in roughly three weeks at its Malaunay facility near Rouen.
- The consignment is intended to provide a daily preventive dose for six months to about 42,000 young children, with sources differing on the exact age bracket.
- The World Food Programme will receive the cargo in Port Said before overland trucking into Gaza, with arrival expected in around ten days.
- France says this shipment adds to more than 1,300 tonnes of aid sent since October 2023, and the foreign ministry urged Israel to lift obstacles to humanitarian deliveries.
