President Joe Biden has announced that the United States military will construct a port in Gaza to get more humanitarian aid into the territory by sea.
The temporary port will increase the amount of humanitarian assistance to Palestinians by “hundreds of additional truckloads” per day.
Mr Biden added that no US troops would land in Gaza as the United Kingdom assured that it would work with the United States to set up a sea corridor.
“A temporary pier will enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza every day,” President Biden said.
The president, who made the official announcement during his State of the Union address noted that the port would be built by the US military.
