The U.S. Navy is sending sailors and ships to the eastern Mediterranean Sea to assist in building a humanitarian aid pier off the Gaza Strip, under an Army-led Joint Logistics Over-The-Shore (JLOTS) mission. The pier will serve as a staging point for delivering humanitarian aid to Palestinians, with the Navy's involvement including setting up a floating dock and operating causeway ferries. The mission, part of a larger international effort, aims to increase aid flow to Gaza, with the pier expected to be operational in less than two months. Security concerns and aid distribution logistics are among the challenges being addressed.
