Satellite images show the construction of a makeshift jetty on the Gaza coastline, as the territory awaits a temporary port announced by President Biden to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid. The jetty, being built by the charity World Central Kitchen, is expected to receive a shipment of nearly 200 tons of food from Cyprus. Other world leaders have expressed concern over the need to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, with the Egyptian Foreign Minister stating that the temporary port is expected to be completed in two months. In the meantime, the U.S. and other countries have been airdropping food into northern Gaza to help alleviate the situation.

"Biden Announces Emergency US Military Mission to Build Gaza Aid Port"

President Biden will announce the construction of a temporary port on Gaza's coast to receive humanitarian aid by sea, aiming to alleviate the dire situation in the region. The U.S. military, in collaboration with like-minded countries and humanitarian partners, will undertake this emergency mission, working to increase the flow of food, water, medical supplies, and temporary shelters to Gaza. The decision comes amid U.N. warnings of widespread famine in the enclave and political pressure on Biden to end the Israeli offensive. Hamas is delaying a new deal with Israel on a ceasefire and the release of hostages, blaming the stalemate on Israel's rejection of its demands.
