![Leo Correa People block a road as they try to stop the trucks, carrying humanitarian aid, to enter in the Gaza Strip in an area near the Kerem Shalom border crossing between Israel and Gaza, in southern Israel, in Kerem Shalom, May 9, 2024. In coming days, U.S.-military-backed construction crews in the eastern Mediterranean are expected to jab one end of what’s essentially a hulking metal dock into a beach in northern Gaza. And that may be the end of the easy part for the Biden administration’s $320 million effort to open a sea route to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. Humanitarian groups point to dangers and uncertainties ahead for aid delivery teams as fighting surges.
