[HIGHLIGHTS] “A malicious proposal.” A UN expert denounces America’s intention to establish a port in Gaza

U.N. Special Rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri, on Friday denounced the United States’ proposal to establish a temporary port in Gaza.

The port would transport humanitarian aid across the sea to the besieged Strip. Since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip in October, the small, crowded Strip has been suffering from a food crisis that has been exacerbated by restrictions imposed on the delivery of aid to it. In his State of the Union address, Thursday, US President Joe Biden ordered his army to establish the port.
