In an extensive article, the New York Times analyzes how the floating jetty in Gaza, which is being built by the American army with the sole purpose of transporting humanitarian aid from Cyprus, will work. The cargo will be checked by the Cypriot authorities.
As stated in the publication, which cites a senior Pentagon source, approximately 1,000 American soldiers and sailors are currently engaged in the construction of the pier. In the first stage, and since of course the cargoes, before being transported, will have been checked by the Cypriot authorities in the presence of Israeli officials for security reasons, the wharf will be able to receive 90 trucks with humanitarian aid per day, while when it is fully operational, it will be able to lift up to 150 trucks per day.
The aid will be trucked to a safe area near UN warehouses and distributed to hundreds of open kitchens, shelters, smaller warehouses and other distribution points across the region. Most of them are in southern Gaza where most of the population fled, but demographers estimate that several hundred thousand people remain trapped in the northern part, at risk of starvation.
The NYT reports that most of the aid will be food, which will be collected from various countries and transported to the port of Larnaca.
