"US Ship En Route to Gaza with Pier-Building Equipment to Ramp Up Aid Efforts"

A U.S. Army vessel is en route to Gaza with equipment for a temporary pier as part of increased aid efforts, bypassing Israeli control over land shipments. The move comes amid a deadly humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with hopes for a new cease-fire fading. U.S. President Biden criticized Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's approach to the conflict, expressing support for Israel's right to pursue Hamas while urging attention to innocent lives lost. The Health Ministry in Gaza reported over 31,000 Palestinian casualties, with U.S. efforts underway to set up the temporary pier for sea deliveries, backed by the EU, U.S., UAE, and others.
