Washington is preparing to establish a military port on the Gaza coast to provide aid. According to the American official, establishing the port will not require American forces on the ground in Gaza.
The European Commission announced that its President, Ursula von der Leyen, will visit Cyprus within days to discuss opening a sea corridor to ship humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip via the island. The US Central Command said that it carried out an airdrop of aid in the northern Gaza Strip, in partnership with the Royal Jordanian Forces.
