STORYLINE:
Humanitarian aid was loaded onto a large container ship in Cyprus on Wednesday for delivery to Gaza.
The Sagamore was seen at the island nation’s port in Larnaca as aid was lowered through a crane into the ship.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military has finished construction of a temporary pier and causeway that will be used to deliver aid to Gaza through a maritime system, but plans to move it into place on the shore are on hold due to weather and other logistics.
A Pentagon official said once the loading of the ship is completed and the U.S.-built pier and causeway is ready at a Gaza beach, shipments to the Palestinian territory can begin.
Critical diesel fuel to pump drinking water, maintain communications and deliver aid in Gaza will run out Wednesday and it’s estimated that food already in the south will be gone by the end of the week, a senior U.N. humanitarian said following Israel’s closure of the two key crossing points into the territory.
