A United States military ship carrying equipment to build a temporary pier off the coast of Gaza to deliver humanitarian supplies – and get around Israeli obstruction of aid operations as it continues pounding the Gaza Strip – has departed the US.
The General Frank S. Besson left its base in the US on Sunday, a little more than a day after US President Joe Biden’s announcement, “carrying the first equipment to establish a temporary pier to deliver vital humanitarian supplies”, the military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) said.
