The Navy will deploy a host of logistics vessels and around 260 sailors to help operate the pier system being spearheaded by the Army to provide millions of meals and supplies to the Gaza Strip. Many Gaza residents are starving as Israel lays siege to the region after Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israeli settlements.
A Navy official who spoke to reporters Wednesday on the condition of anonymity said that the sea service's Naval Beach Group 1 will deploy the USNS 1st Lt. Baldomero Lopez and the USNS 2nd Lt. John Bobo with enough watercraft and equipment to operate a huge floating dock three miles off the coast of Gaza that will serve as the first stop for goods bound for the beleaguered territory.

Let’s deploy some stuff and help Americans Rebuild, upgrade, feed and provide medical treatment to Americans. In other words treat us like we were foreign nationals or illegal immigrants…
