Army Engineers Construct Floating Pier for Humanitarian Aid Delivery to Gaza
Army engineers have recently begun construction of a floating pier and causeway off the coast of Gaza, aimed at facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid to residents of the region. According to sources, once completed, the project could potentially provide up to two million meals a day to the people of Gaza.
The construction, which is currently in progress, is in line with predictions made by the Pentagon and is set to be finished early next month. The project was ordered by President Biden with the goal of allowing aid to bypass Israeli restrictions on land convoys into Gaza.
While aid organizations have lauded the initiative, they also recognize that maritime aid is not a complete substitute for land convoys. Some U.S. military officials have expressed security concerns regarding the project, especially following a recent mortar attack in the area.
The floating pier is being constructed alongside an Army ship and will be accompanied by armed escorts when approaching Gaza’s coast. The project signifies a significant effort to support the people of Gaza during what many consider to be a humanitarian crisis in the region.
Overall, the construction of the floating pier and causeway underscores the U.S. government’s commitment to providing essential aid to Gaza, despite the challenges and security risks involved in the process. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story on Swerd Media.
