As we’ve been reporting, the US plan to build a temporary port off Gaza’s coast to step up the delivery of aid has been criticised as an attempt to divert attention from Israel’s consistent blocking of assistance to the enclave despite UN warnings of a looming famine, reports Al Jazeera.
Commenting on Biden’s announcement, Gaza residents said what they urgently needed was for the US to stop providing Israel with weapons.
“Instead of telling us they will build a port to help us, stop [providing] the weapons they fire at us,” Hassan Maslah, a displaced Palestinian from Khan Younis, now sheltering in Rafah, said.“All these American weapons are killing our kids and killing us wherever we go. We don’t need aid from them. We need them to stop the killing, stop the death,” he said.
