The United States (US) completed the installation of the humanitarian pier to aid the easy flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza as “Palestinian people are suffering”.
The fighting between Israel and Hamas continues to intensify, adversely affecting the easy flow of humanitarian aid for the people of Palestine.
President Biden said: “Earlier today, the first shipments of humanitarian assistance arrived on the shores of Gaza through the multinational humanitarian pier thanks to the tireless work of @CENTCOM and our teams at @USAID and @StateDept.
“To start, our partners at USAID are using this corridor to deliver 170 metric tons of nutrient-rich food bars to support 11,000 of the most vulnerable children and adults, ready-to-use therapeutic foods, and supplies to support shelter, clean water, and hygiene for over 33,000 people.
And more aid from the U.S. and other countries continues to arrive in Cyprus, where it will be loaded onto ships for delivery via the pier.
“Let me be clear:
The Palestinian people are suffering.
The need to get increased aid to the most vulnerable is urgent.
“And our work with Israel to further increase the amount of aid getting into Gaza by land continues.”
