The US military has published photos showing a floating pier being built in the Mediterranean Sea to help increase humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza.
Logistics vessels and personnel can be seen assembling the pier from steel segments, next to a US Navy ship.
Costing about $320m (£255m), the pier and a causeway attached to the shore should be operational in a week.
The goal is to deliver aid equivalent to as many as two million meals a day to Gaza to help avert a famine there.
