No “boots on the ground” will be involved in the operation, according to the Pentagon, although around 1,000 US forces are anticipated to take part.
The US has teamed up with a little-known private company called Fogbow, which is managed by former intelligence and military personnel, to help do that.
The objective is to provide Gaza, where the UN has declared that starvation is “almost inevitable” in the absence of immediate action, with supplies equal to two million meals per day.
