The UK and the US are collaborating on a significant humanitarian project in Gaza, involving the construction of a temporary pier to facilitate aid delivery amidst Israel's military operations. The Royal Navy's RFA Cardigan Bay has been dispatched to house US troops working on the pier, which is expected to start receiving aid shipments early next month. The UNWRA has issued an emergency appeal as local infrastructure, including health, water, and shelter, has been severely impacted by Israeli military operations. Discussions are ongoing about the potential deployment of UK ground troops to assist in aid distribution once the pier is operational.
