The port will include a temporary pier, a second senior official said, which “will provide the capacity for hundreds of additional truckloads of assistance each day” to be coordinated with Israel, the United Nations, and humanitarian nongovernmental organizations. Initial aid shipments will come via Cyprus, the official said.It was not immediately clear when the port would be up and running: “This new significant capability will take a number of weeks to plan and execute. The forces that will be required to complete this mission are either already in the region or will begin to move there soon,” a second official said. As Israel’s severe restrictions on aid entering the Gaza Strip drain essential supplies, displaced Palestinians have told CNN they are struggling to feed themselves and their children.While US officials believe delivering aid via land routes is “the most efficient, cost-effective way to get assistance in,” Biden’s announcement underscores the urgency of the moment.“Tonight in the speech, the President will announce that he's directing the US military to lead an emergency mission to establish a port in the Mediterranean on the Gaza coast that can receive large ships carrying food, water medicine, and temporary shelters,” a senior administration official said Thursday.

They will spend 100 million dollars building it and when it is done they won't need it. More stupid Dem spending. But some congressman's donor will get a fat contract.BuckNaked » 07 Mar 2024, 2:45 pm » wrote: ↑ How long is this going to take to complete? Can they wait for it to be built without starving?

By the time the port is built, the conflict will be over.
Stick to one idea at a time. another bad idea your mind is working cradle to grave. the concept you follow is wrong way to balance your time adapting uniquely here.Cannonpointer » 08 Mar 2024, 10:00 am » wrote: ↑ SOMEONE has to feed, house, clothe, and care for israel's prisoners.
Just keep your mind on the work at hand, son - those israeli boots are not going to lick themselves. :)

Ever see those ships with opening bows, where they can anchor the ship carrying the supplies to build a floating brings to the shore. Worst case scenario they send in a dredger first to carve out the bottom of the sea. Can't your brain visualize what it would take, mine did when I first heard bout the effort. I can see how to make it work as easy as it will fail.Buck Naked » 08 Mar 2024, 10:46 am » wrote: ↑ How are they not going to be in harms way? Aren’t they going to be physically on the beach in Gaza to secure the ramps and dock at the port?
