CARACAS, August 13, 2014 (WAFA) -- The Government of Venezuela opened on Wednesday an air corridor to allow humanitarian aids into the Gaza Strip, said a statement by the Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Turkey said last week it was seeking Israeli and Egyptian agreement for an air corridor to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza after a month of bloodshed that has killed 1,910 Palestinians and 67 Israelis.
Malaysia flight 17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine, in an air corridor that was not blocked, but many airlines had stopped flying it because of the on-going civil war.
Papadopoulou said that air traffic has not increased due to the situation in Gaza, but that air traffic control has become more complicated because a specific point in an air corridor has been closed.

The committee said logistic support to NATO-led international forces in Afghanistan, including a transit facility for NATO container shipments and the use of an air corridor by NATO aircraft for access to Afghanistan, be based on written agreements.
