The United States has initiated the construction of a temporary pier at sea to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, as announced by the Pentagon. The primary objective is to transport up to 150 trucks of aid daily to assist the distressed population in the region.

According to Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, US military vessels, including the USNS Benavidez, have commenced the initial phases of building the temporary pier and causeway at sea. The construction progress indicates that the delivery of humanitarian assistance to Gaza from the sea is set to commence in early May, starting with the equivalent of 90 trucks per day and scaling up to 150 trucks per day once full operational capacity is achieved.
