Plans underway to coordinate effort to bring Gaza aid in by sea
Newsy
Activists and experts say sea deliveries of aid to Gaza is not enough, and are pushing for land routes.
More than 31,000 Palestinians have died since the start of this latest war between Israel and Hamas after the Oct. 7 attacks that saw 1,400 people killed in Israel, and 200 hostages taken. Included in the dead were 33 Americans.
With no boots on the ground, the U.S. is central in many regards in a large coordinated effort to bring in desperately needed aid into Gaza as civilians face starvation, and have for weeks.
President Joe Biden has announced that U.S. troops will build a temporary port off Gaza’s shore to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians who are suffering from a shortage of food, water, and medicine.
World leaders have urged for more attention on minimizing civilian casualties in Israel's war with Hamas.
President Joe Biden delivered strong words to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying, "He has a right to defend Israel, a right to continue to pursue Hamas. But, he must, he must, he must, pay more attention to the innocent lives being lost because of the consequence of the actions taken."
