US ship brings parts to Gaza for temporary port. Aid supplies are to reach the Gaza Strip via a temporary pier.
The US government announced on Thursday that it would set up a temporary port to bring food, water and medicine to the war zone in view of the humanitarian emergency in Gaza. It will take approximately 60 days for the temporaryport to be fully operational. Once it is built, it would then be possible to deliver up to two million meals a day. The Gaza Strip currently has no functioning ports.
