The United States Navy is deploying resources including sailors and ships to Gaza to assist in constructing a pier aimed at facilitating humanitarian aid delivery by the May 1 deadline. This initiative, referred to by some as 'Biden's Gaza Pier,' has raised concerns about the safety of U.S. troops involved in the construction, with criticisms labeling the project as a potential 'floating death trap.' Despite these concerns, the U.S. is pressing forward with the project, with an official stating the goal to have the jetty operational by May 1. A ship from Virginia has already departed, carrying heavy equipment and materials necessary for the pier's construction, as part of the effort to increase humanitarian aid access to the besieged coastal strip.
