Order for sea route transfer of large-scale humanitarian aid is given by joe biden, as the situation in the enclave is dramatic. The US president will announce in his State of the Union address tonight that he has ordered the US military to begin building a temporary jetty off Gaza which will allow immediate delivery of humanitarian aid from the Mediterranean Sea, US officials told reporters.

The idea of ​​a maritime humanitarian corridor in Gaza had been mooted for years but never materialized because of Israeli reticence and concerns that the existing port of Gaza City is not equipped to dock large ships.

“We are not waiting for the Israelis. This is a moment for American leadership,” a senior American official commented to the Guardian, revealing the tension in diplomatic relations between the two countries regarding “Israel’s obstruction of humanitarian aid deliveries by road.”

Humanitarian aid will arrive from the port of Larnaca in Cypruswhich will become the main help node.
