The Biden administration in the United States has announced that it will aim to bring in supplies by sea in addition to dropping supplies by air to support the Gaza Strip, where fighting between Israel and the Islamic organization Hamas continues.
In the Gaza Strip, where fighting between Israel and Hamas continues, aid supplies are only allowed to enter through two checkpoints in the south, and food and other supplies are in short supply, with the situation particularly serious in the north.
The United States has begun dropping supplies from the air this month, and the U.S. Central Command announced on the 7th that it had dropped more than 38,000 meals in conjunction with the Jordanian military into the northern Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, a senior White House official told reporters on the 7th that ``a port with a temporary pier will be built in the Gaza Strip, and hundreds of truckloads of supplies will be brought in each day.''
The US military will not land during the transport, but will coordinate with the Israeli side to ensure safety on land, and will seek cooperation from the United Nations and humanitarian NGOs, so it will take several weeks before the transport actually begins. .
President Biden plans to reveal these new policies in his State of the Union address, which will be delivered to Congress on the 7th and will outline the government's policy for the coming year.
