IDF report highlights minimal use of US-built pier to bring aid into Gaza
2024-05-27
[IsraelTimes] The Israeli military publishes a weekly summary of its humanitarian efforts in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, which highlights the very minimal use of the US-built floating pier used to bring aid in via the sea.

According to the IDF, a total of 1,806 pallets of food were brought into Gaza via the pier this week, and were transferred in 127 trucks to logistics centers belonging to international aid organizations in the Strip.

The pier began operating last week for the first time. Over the weekend, two US vessels involved in the pier project ran aground near Ashdod.

In contrast, a total of 2,065 trucks carrying humanitarian aid were inspected by Israeli authorities and transferred to Gaza via the Kerem Shalom and "Erez West" crossings this week, which the IDF says is "almost twice the number in the previous week."

The IDF says the aid trucks included "232 trucks containing flour for the World Food Program (WFP) organization to supply bakeries in the Gaza Strip, 132 aid trucks from Jordan, and 352,000 liters of diesel and fuel to supply essential centers, hospitals and shelters run by the international community in Gaza."

#1  ...Seeing how the damned thing fell apart over the weekend - it was designed to handle up to certain weather conditions...which the Gaza coast routinely exceeds this time of year - I have to believe that the IDF is getting some much-needed laughter out of this.
