That’s if Israel lets them last that long. These people can’t go 60 days without more support. Keep pushing people, we need to do more.
So, reminder: there are trucks ready to rock that can deliver supplies. They’re waiting just across the border but are stopped by IDF inspectors (making sure there is no weapons, or fuel, or anything “objectionable”… just food and medical.) and by Israeli far right extremists protesting.
And the same requirements and inspections would be put in place on a port.
People are suffering. Providing aid should be done aggressively, with force if necessary.
The US in 1944 built artificial harbors in one week in stormy weather while under enemy fire.
If I recall, it was also uphill.
Both ways, in the snow
And the instructions were in French.
I didn’t know Omaha was in France. The things you learn.
It’s one of the most documented parts of France.

But wait, there is another choice…
im not a democrat but i vote for democrats what do you think about that steven
Agree this just a diversion as are air drops. If trucks are blocked why not use
So, the plan is that the IDF will manage the beach side of the operation. These are the same people preventing aid coming through by road right now
It’s becoming clear that this aid-by-port charade is really just a means of delaying, and subsequently withholding, food and aid.
Trump would have it built already and Palestine would have paid for it. /s
This is the best summary I could come up with:
About 1,000 U.S. forces will be needed to build a temporary maritime corridor to get aid to the besieged Gaza Strip, Pentagon Press Secretary Brig.
There are still many logistical questions Ryder says the U.S. is discussing with partners, like who will provide security for the temporary causeway and who will distribute the aid once it gets to the shores of Gaza.
Once the ships arrive off the coast of Gaza, it will take 7 to 10 days to assemble both the floating pier and the causeway, according to a defense official, depending on conditions at sea and whether there are light sources to allow for around-the-clock construction.
Since security for U.S. troops is a top concern, a defense official said one of the biggest challenges will be anchoring the causeway, called Trident Beach.
The announcement of the plan for a maritime corridor comes within a week after the U.S. began airdropping aid into Gaza using military aircraft.
In the four rounds of airdrops so far, Ryder said the U.S. has delivered about 124,000 meals – certainly not enough to take care of the roughly half a million people the U.N. estimates are starving in Gaza.
