Egypt which is also a leal US proxy also has a land border with Gaza, but the U.S. can't just send in aid relief that way because the Israelis told Egypt they can't and the U.S. sent the CIA director to strongarm Egypt into complying.

Keep in mind that Israel has killed a confirmed 30,000 people, ~1.5% of the population of Gaza. Who knows how many times that number is actually dead and buried under the rubble, or in a mass grave, or was buried without consulting the health ministry, or their body just hasn't been found yet.

The US is there to help with the genocide, but the IOF loves shooting its own troops so presumably there will be friendly fire incidents at some point.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israel-welcomes-us-plan-for-temporary-dock-for-gaza-aid-israeli-official-says/

quote:

Israel welcomes a United States plan to build a “temporary dock” on the Gaza coast to deliver humanitarian aid by sea and will coordinate the development of the project with the US, an Israeli official said on Thursday.

Israel “fully supports” the creation of such a facility, the official says on condition of anonymity, after US officials said US President Joe Biden would announce in his State of the Union speech that the US military will construct a port to receive food, medicine and other supplies for civilians in the war-torn Palestinian enclave.
so it'll be a "terrorist rocket attack" then

Having just thumbed through Implementation of Strategic Lean-to the Naval Construction Forces in order to improve the Supply Chain in Class IV material, they would be correct. The capstone project was constructing a small concrete pad.

NMCB THREE Detail Diego Garcia will construct a 36ft x 205ft x 7in concrete pad with a 10in
thickened edge. The pad will be used as a storage area for the Pacific Air Force, Detachment-
Diego Garcia War Reserve Material (WRM). This pad will allow PACAF to have improved
accountability of its WRM as well as the WRM’s staging for rapid deployment.



and then a small office

NMCB THREE Detail San Clemente will construct a 30’ X 60’ pre-engineered building to
include electrical, utilities and interior finishes. This project will provide permanent office spaces
for the Seabee Detail deployed to San Clemente Island. Seabees support NALF SCI with
construction and engineering tasking, which in turn enables Third Fleet to achieve training
initiatives and MCO readiness.

wait i missed this bit at the end of https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-announce-gaza-aid-port-construction-state-union-speech-2024-03-07/

quote:

[...]

"We're not waiting for the Israelis," the official continued. "This is a moment for American leadership."

The temporary port would increase the amount of humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in the war-battered enclave by "hundreds of additional truckloads" per day, the official said, adding that the United States would coordinate security with Israel.

It also would work with the U.N. and humanitarian aid organizations that "understand the distribution of assistance within Gaza," the official said.

The official said the operation would "take a number of weeks to plan and execute" and that the U.S. forces required for it are in the region or would soon begin moving there.

While the temporary port would initially be a military-run operation, Washington envisions it becoming a commercially run facility, the official said.

Yeah but per that report, the Class 4 material "Construction materials, including installed equipment and all fortification and barrier materials" is in short supply and also... they can't get anything done in a few weeks because military construction (IMO, reading between the lines) was badly undermined to give more work to private contractors over the past 30 years:





They also brought in, no kidding, McKinsey and Co. who told them they were keeping too much supply on hand and to move to JIT:









Unless I'm misunderstanding, they are losing many, many, tonnes of construction materials (Class IV supply) per year?
