How the US plan to deliver aid to Gaza by sea could impact humanitarian efforts

The US plan to deliver aid to Gaza from a floating pier at sea faces significant security challenges. The operation, involving more than 1,000 US troops and a little-known private firm, Fogbow, aims to deliver two million meals a day to Gaza to combat the looming threat of famine. However, the success of this massive logistical exercise is dependent on various factors, including security measures to prevent hostile fire and crowds of desperate civilians from reaching aid shipments. Fogbow, led by former military and intelligence officials, remains focused on ensuring the movement of aid once it reaches the Gaza shore, with plans to establish a donor-run foundation for long-term aid delivery. While the Pentagon has emphasized that no US troops will set foot in Gaza, military experts stress the importance of maintaining security and monitoring the delivery process to avoid disruptions. The US continues to explore various options for aid delivery, including the maritime route, as restrictions on land crossings and airdrops limit the amount of aid reaching Gaza. As the operation progresses, careful attention to security protocols and logistical coordination will be crucial in ensuring the effective delivery of aid to Gaza.
