EL-ARISH, Egypt, July 15 (Xinhua) -- The Gaza-bound Libyan aid ship docked in Egypt's El-Arish port around midday Thursday after it was prevented from sailing directly to the Gaza Strip.

Workers are prepared to unload some 2,000 tons of food and medical aid materials on the vessel which reached the port Wednesday night.
