A new jetty is under construction just south of Gaza City at coordinates 31.497, 34.408 to facilitate the delivery of maritime aid from Cyprus, despite Gaza's lack of a functioning port. Satellite imagery analyzed from March 11 to March 13 reveals construction crews actively working on the coastline. The jetty, which extends approximately 50 meters, is being developed to offload an aid shipment from the Spanish charity Open Arms.
