The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has initiated the construction of a makeshift temporary pier in the central Gaza Strip to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid by sea. Satellite imagery analyzed by Maxar Technologies has confirmed the ongoing construction of the jetty/pier, located just south of Gaza City. The imagery, captured between March 11 and March 13, showcases construction crews actively working on the site, with the jetty currently extending around 50m. The Israeli Navy is set to tow the aid to shore, with the pier serving as a critical point for offloading shipments. One such shipment is from the Spanish charity Open Arms, originating from Cyprus. The military's efforts aim to streamline the arrival of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip amidst ongoing tensions in the region.
