In March, President Joe Biden announced that the military would build a temporary port on the Mediterranean coast of Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid by sea.

The United Nations has repeatedly warned that Gaza is facing famine. They complain of "major obstacles" in delivering aid and distributing it across the enclave.

Volunteer aid organizations and the Biden administration have been pleading with Israel to facilitate access for aid deliveries to Gaza and ensure the safe passage of their convoys into the territory.
