"International Efforts to Deliver Aid to Gaza Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict"

The US and its allies are considering a commercial maritime option to deliver aid to Gaza, as the United Nations warns of an impending famine in the region. The plan, spearheaded by a private advisory firm, could bring large amounts of aid ashore in a matter of weeks, potentially faster than a larger US military effort. The US government is not expected to fund the project and may seek support from international partners. The commercial option aims to complement the military's plan by providing onshore support in Gaza, with an anticipated cost of around $200 million for six months.
