Ship with Ukrainian grain arrives in Türkiye as part of UN humanitarian aid

A ship carrying 20,000 tonnes of Ukrainian wheat arrived at Türkiye's port, as part of a U.N. World Food Programme (WFP) initiative to support crisis-hit regions, particularly Syria, Hürriyet Daily News has reported.

"We welcome the Brave Commander, a symbol of international solidarity and swift humanitarian action in our quest to end world hunger," WFP Country Director in Türkiye Stephen Cahill said.

The Beirut-flagged Brave Commander arrived at Toros Port in Türkiye's northern Samsun province, carrying 20,000 tonnes of Ukrainian wheat under the Black Sea Grain Initiative. A total of 5,000 tonnes of the wheat will support WFP operations in Syria.
