But let’s also just be realistic about why this is necessary, and it’s necessary because of five months of obstruction of access in the north by the IDF and five months of intentional degradation of humanitarian capacity in the strip,” Konyndyk said. “And frankly the US has tolerated that for five months.”

The problem is not getting aid to Gaza's borders. The problem is the obstruction in getting the aid into Gaza and distribution once inside.

Those are within Israel's control. It's absurd to build a port as a work-around to Israel's obstruction. Without a change to Israel's siege policy and without a distributin system and security, a port is next to useless in the face of this crisis.
