Now the US is thinking of building a port to bring aid to gaza. Very interesting how this will unfold.

Read back through the pages and you'll see it will likely go nowhere.

It will take months to complete the temporary floating port, where large ships are supposed to dock to unload aid onto smaller vessels that can take it to shore or likely the port of Gaza. (Which is a shallow port for small fishing boats) There it will need to be unloaded onto trucks and we're back to the original problem of distributing the aid throughout the strip.

It's just another PR stunt like the Air drops dropping 20 to 30 thousand meals a day on Gaza (and crushing a few civilians in the process) for 550 thousand starving people in the North. Israel will still maintain control over the aid and will inspect everything in Cyprus before ships can leave on a day long journey to this proposed temporary floating port off the coast of Gaza. The pilot ship "Open Arms" is already delayed again.

Much more Aid is needed a month ago. This seems more to be another way to control Gaza, close more land entries and only allow future supplies in by military port.
