The first aid ship to Gaza is behind schedule. Most of the 2.2 million residents of the Gaza Strip face the specter of famine.

The ship carries tens of tons of food within a sea corridor that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced its activation during her visit to the port a few days ago. US Army announced the sending of a logistical ship carrying equipment, days after US President Joe Biden announced that his country would build a temporary dock to dock aid ships to the sector.
