InterAction welcomes President Biden’s decision to establish a seaport for the vital delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza. While this development is a positive step, it is crucial to acknowledge the pressing reality that people are currently facing starvation and death. Although the proposed seaport offers advantages over airdrops in terms of cost, volume, safety, and risk of diversion, it remains less effective than facilitating the entry of trucks for on-the-ground aid distribution.
