According to the statement, it is “carrying the first equipment to establish a temporary pier to deliver vital humanitarian supplies” to Gaza.

With the assistance of 1,000 soldiers, none of whom would set foot on land, the Pentagon has stated that construction of the pier might take up to 60 days.

Meanwhile, an aid ship laden with some 200 tonnes of food had been expected to set sail from a port in Larnaca, Cyprus on Sunday afternoon, Cypriot media reported.

However, as of around 1700 GMT, Cypriot authorities said the vessel remained in port. It was repositioning within the harbour but was not expected to leave “for some time”, they said.

It follows an EU announcement that a new sea route would be opened over the weekend to allow aid to sail directly from Cyprus – the closest EU country to Gaza.
