A U.S. Army vessel carrying equipment for building a temporary pier in Gaza is on its way to the Mediterranean following President Joe Biden's announcement to increase aid deliveries to the besieged enclave. The establishment of a sea corridor, in addition to airdrops by the U.S., Jordan, and other nations, reflects growing concern over Gaza's humanitarian crisis and a willingness to bypass Israeli control over land shipments.
Israel has expressed support for the sea deliveries and will inspect Gaza-bound cargo in Cyprus before its departure. The number of aid trucks entering Gaza by land has significantly decreased due to Israeli restrictions and security concerns.
