U.S. to Build Pier to Allow Aid Into Gaza by Sea

Officials said President Biden was expected to announce in his State of the Union on Thursday that the U.S. military will construct a floating pier off the Gaza Strip to let ships deliver tons of food and other aid.

The US military will build a floating pier off Gaza to evade Israel's obstructionism and deliver food.

It is unclear whether Israel will be involved in constructing the pier.

Aid will flow from Cyprus to this new facility which will take several weeks to complete. Highlights extraordinary situation where US is having to bypass its closest ally in the region and either airdrop aid or bring it in direct by ship.
