The U.S. President has proposed a plan to construct a humanitarian pier off the coast of Gaza, estimated to cost between $180 million and $200 million, to facilitate the delivery of food, water, and medicine to the region, @ABC News reported. A company named Fogbow is leading the effort to build this makeshift port, which could start delivering aid from Cyprus within 28 days after receiving the necessary funding from international donors, according to @connor_echols. Despite these efforts, President Biden has expressed that Israeli actions to increase aid into Gaza are insufficient and is awaiting further commitments from Prime Minister Netanyahu. NGOs are working to enhance the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza amidst significant challenges. The initiative has been described as a top priority for the Biden administration, aiming to alleviate the humanitarian suffering in Gaza. This comes in the wake of criticism towards Israel for not adequately addressing civilian suffering in Gaza, highlighted by the killing of World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers, despite Israel's claims of increasing aid truck deliveries.
Since Biden warned Israel to address civilian suffering in Gaza — spurred by Israel’s killing of several World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers — Israel touted a record number of aid trucks. But the U.N. and other aid officials say little has changed. https://t.co/XFq6KxB8MV
