UN resumes transporting aid from US-built pier in Gaza
The United Nations has resumed transporting humanitarian aid arriving at a US-built pier off the coast of the Gaza Strip after deliveries were halted for two days because some truckloads of aid were intercepted by needy Palestinians, Reuters reports.
Aid deliveries began arriving at a US-built pier as Israel comes under growing global pressure to allow more supplies into the besieged coastal enclave, where it is at conflict with Hamas and a famine looms.
The UN is coordinating aid distribution at the floating dock, but has remained adamant that aid deliveries by land are the “most viable, effective and efficient” way to combat the humanitarian crisis in the enclave of 2.3 million people.
