That seems to be common with aid shipments just about everywhere. I could be ‘incorrect’.
In many ways, the difference would be foreign, probably NATO and US, troops/NGOs handling the distribution and security.
Other than as a Biden political stunt I doubt the “port” means much. Most sources say it will be at least 2 months before it’s functional. If Israel goes forward with it’s intention to destroy Hamas most of it will be over by then. And with 3 crossings from Israel open, maybe even one from Egypt, the port won’t be needed. The real problem is destroying Hamas on the ground so aid can be distributed without Hamas interference. And if they’re not, the aid from the port will end up in Hamas combatants stomachs and for sale on the black market.
