US Completes Installation of Floating Pier to Deliver Urgent Aid to Gaza
ai generated text
The US military has started delivering humanitarian aid to war-torn Gaza via a temporary floating pier, with around 500 tonnes of supplies expected to be brought in. This is the first shipment in an operation that could potentially scale up to 150 truckloads per day. However, humanitarian groups and the UN warn that this sea-based delivery method cannot replace land crossings, which are essential for bringing in all the necessary food, water, and fuel.

It'll probably take another 24 hours to make sure everything is set up.
Stocks of food which were in place already in southern Gaza are running out. I think we're talking about almost none left.
I think everyone in the operation has said it: Any and all aid into Gaza is welcome by any route.
We know the maritime route is not the only answer. We need to see more land routes open, including via the Rafah crossing, to ensure much more aid gets safely to civilians in desperate need of help.
They're moving to areas where there is no water - we've got to truck it in and people aren't getting enough food.
Even now, the soldiers are exchanging fire with terrorist cells in the area.
The battle in Rafah is critical. It's not just the rest of their battalions [Hamas and allied Palestinian militant groups], it's also like an oxygen line for them for escape and resupply.
Given the immense needs in Gaza, the floating dock is intended to supplement existing land crossings of aid into Gaza, including Rafah, Kerem Shalom [Karem Abu Salem] and Erez [Beit Hanoon]. It is not meant to replace any crossings.
