WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s administration plans to construct a temporary port in Gaza. The harbor will facilitate convenient maritime transportation of critical aid materials. In his previous State of the Union address, he mentioned that he tried to deal with the humanitarian emergency in Gaza and considered it very significant.
The US military wants to construct a harbor that will entirely alter the Palestinian aid system. It is thought by many in authority that this additional harbor installation will require an additional three hundred transport trucks every day for the increased supply of aid. The difficult question being posed is whether enough security measures will be employed and put into place during all of this. There is confusion
regarding the person responsible for constructing the bridge as well as the safe means through which the land aid can be given, thus creating doubts concerning the execution of the plan.
President Biden’s plan does not involve American troops going to Gaza, as he mentioned earlier. In its place is a short-term harbor with a unique dock meant for fast delivery of essential goods from ships passing in the Mediterranean Sea towards the distressed shoreline.
This undertaking matters a lot, particularly given the plight of Palestinians. The United Nations warns that twenty-five percent of Gazans face imminent death from hunger due to the ongoing Israeli/Hamas hostilities. There have been numerous deaths and massive destruction during this war.
It may seem optimistic to build a harbor since it offers an escape for those who become entangled in world affairs. Nevertheless, even if this appears like joining peace with reason on one side, there will be many challenges ahead that underline the need for continued international collaboration and solidarity. However, there are serious concerns regarding the viability of the proposal e. g., who will build the bridge, and how can they ensure safe passage of aid on the land?
The United Nations says that twenty-five out of every hundred people in Gaza are at the point of dying from hunger; thus, they need food aid urgently. Many people have died, been injured, or left homeless because of the recent war between Israel and Hamas; this just worsens an already very critical situation.
In Gaza, the situation remains grave, given how America is unrelenting in sending relief. It can also be seen as a move of support towards the Palestinians from different countries led by their presidents. They expect that if they prioritize the needs of humanity over politics, then there will be peace.
Also, the harbor construction illustrates the politics around peace in the region well. Many eyes will be watching closely at the undertaking, including those of some international monitors who at present seek to ensure that all is well with regard to Israeli-Palestinian hostilities and conflict.
The fact that the US army is helping out in building this harbor proves why immediate action must be taken and how serious the international response to this humanitarian crisis in Gaza is. However, this strategy can only succeed if all stakeholders contribute and cooperate fully.
