US Troops Deploy to Build Offshore Port for Gaza Aid, Israel to Maintain Security Control

The US is setting up a temporary pier off Gaza to deliver humanitarian supplies in response to the looming famine in the besieged enclave, as Palestinians face starvation due to Israel's blockade. President Biden's move is seen as an attempt to address criticism over his support for Israel, with the pier aimed at increasing the amount of aid getting into Gaza. However, experts question the effectiveness of the pier, advocating for Israel to open land crossings to Gaza for a more efficient aid delivery. Other countries, including the UK, are also involved in the pier project, while a maritime corridor from Cyprus to Gaza faced technical issues in delivering aid.
