US President Joe Biden announced during his State of the Union speech that the US military will construct a temporary port on Gaza’s Mediterranean coast to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid by sea, Reuters reports.
The operation, which will not involve the deployment of US troops on the ground, aims to provide much-needed relief to the civilians in Gaza following the devastating conflict between Israeli forces and Hamas. The temporary pier will serve as a crucial entry point for ships carrying essential supplies such as food, water, medicine, and temporary shelters.
The operation is expected to take several weeks to plan and execute, and reflects the Biden administration’s commitment to providing assistance to Palestinians in Gaza and working towards a sustainable solution to the ongoing crisis.
