BEIRUT — A Lebanese aid ship destined for Gaza delayed its departure Saturday after Cyprus refused to allow the ship to sail through its waters or to use its ports, organizers and Lebanese officials said.
The ship, the Mariam, was to have left the northern Lebanese port of Tripoli today bound for Cyprus, the first leg of the trip. Organizers said that they had been negotiating with Turkey and Greece for the use of ports and waters and that they could reach a deal by Monday.
