"US Military Deploys Aid for Gaza Pier Construction"

A U.S. Army vessel carrying equipment for building a temporary pier in Gaza is on its way to the Mediterranean as part of a plan to increase aid deliveries to the besieged enclave, bypassing Israeli control over land shipments. President Biden has criticized Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's approach to the war against Hamas and expressed support for Israel's right to pursue Hamas while urging attention to innocent lives lost. Palestinian casualties continue to rise, with at least 31,045 Palestinians killed since the war began. Efforts are underway to set up the temporary pier in Gaza for sea deliveries, backed by the EU, U.S., UAE, and other countries, as talks for a temporary cease-fire stall.
