Bowen pans opposition’s ‘nuclear fantasy’; No need for PM to ‘turn up’ in Israel: Farrell; More than 30 Houthi drones shot down by US, UK. Follow updates here.
The US Army has dispatched a ship to send humanitarian aid to Gaza, Central Command said on Sunday, days after President Joe Biden vowed to build a temporary pier to supply the besieged enclave. The General Frank S. Besson left Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia “less than 36 hours after President Biden announced the US would provide humanitarian assistance to Gaza by sea,” CENTCOM said in a statement.
Biden’s announcement in his State of the Union address on Thursday followed UN warnings of widespread famine among Gaza’s 2.3 million Palestinians five months after Israel launched its offensive in the narrow strip in response to an attack by Hamas militants. Gaza has no port infrastructure. The US initially plans to use Cyprus, which is offering a process for screening cargoes that will include Israel officials, removing the need for security checks in Gaza.
