US on track to deliver aid to Gaza from sea by early May, officials say

The U.S. is on track to start delivering critical humanitarian aid into Gaza through a maritime corridor by early May and more details of the plan have been worked out, officials said.

A senior military official said in a press call that construction and assembly of the pier in the Mediterranean Sea began Thursday off the coast of Gaza.

Once it's completed, the pier will initially be able to facilitate 90 trucks a day but is expected to eventually reach up to 150 trucks daily.
