Separately, a new land route was used to deliver food to northern Gaza for the first time in three weeks, the UN said. In southern Gaza, an aid warehouse run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees was bombed, killing four people, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
More than halfway through its 240-mile voyage, it was still unclear where the aid ship would dock and how supplies would be distributed. It is towing a barge carrying 200 tonnes of water, food and vital medicines.
Cyprus's foreign minister, Constantinos Kombos, last night said a second "much bigger" vessel was on standby to ship more aid to Gaza.
Hamas said the delivery of aid by sea was inadequate to meet the needs of people who are in desperate need of food, water and medical supplies.
"The ship's cargo does not exceed that of one or two trucks, and it will take days to arrive," Salama Marouf, the head of the Hamas government media office, said. "It is still unknown where it will dock and how it will reach the shores of Gaza. Moreover, it will be subject to inspection by the occupying army."
The Spanish-flagged vessel Open Arms is the first to use a new humanitarian sea corridor established between the Cyprus port of Larnaca and Gaza.
