President Joe Biden has announced an emergency military mission to construct a port in the Mediterranean Sea on Gaza’s coast. The port will play a crucial role in receiving large ships carrying essential supplies such as food, water, medicine, and temporary shelters for the residents of Gaza.
The United States military will lead the mission, working in collaboration with partner countries to ensure the success of this humanitarian effort. However, it is important to note that no American troops will be on the ground during this operation.
This planned port will have the capacity to receive large ships, allowing for a significant increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance that can be delivered to Gaza. The mission is expected to take several weeks to plan and execute, with initial shipments of aid arriving through the port via Cyprus.
Despite these efforts, the U.S. is continuing to urge Israel to allow more aid into Gaza and to ensure the safety of humanitarian workers on the ground. The U.S. has already provided over $180 million worth of aid to Gaza since the conflict began.
In addition to the construction of the port, Israel is also working on establishing a third land crossing into Gaza for aid delivery. The defense official overseeing the mission emphasized that a temporary cease-fire deal is the best way to ensure the safe passage of aid into Gaza.
Furthermore, the U.S. made its third air drop of aid into Gaza on Thursday morning, delivering nearly 113,000 meals to those in need. Overall, this coordinated effort demonstrates a strong commitment to providing much-needed relief to the people of Gaza during this critical time.
