"International Efforts to Provide Aid to Gaza Amid Middle East Crisis"

The United States, Britain, and the European Union are collaborating to establish a maritime aid corridor to deliver humanitarian relief to Gaza, as Israel's restrictions on land routes have led to extreme hunger and aid shortages. President Biden announced a U.S. military plan to build a floating pier near Gaza's coast to increase aid, urging Israel to allow more aid into Gaza and not use humanitarian assistance as a bargaining chip. The World Central Kitchen, led by chef José Andrés, has been providing millions of meals in Gaza and plans to double its efforts with the new aid plan. Meanwhile, the Indian Navy rescued crew members from a vessel attacked by Houthi militia off Yemen's coast, as Houthi attacks threaten global shipping routes and the U.S. has created an international task force to protect commercial ships in the region.
