US Military Send 1,000 Tons Of Aid To Gaza

JAKARTA - The US military sent more than 1,000 metric tons of aid via a temporary pier off the coast of Gaza on weekends.

Over the weekend, US CENTCOM sent 1,384 metric tons (3.04 million pounds) of aid to the coast in Gaza, "said US Central Command via the X account reported by CNN, Monday, June 24.

This includes dismantling aid of 720 metric tons on Sunday, the largest one-day aid shipment to date, the statement added.

Although aid was sent to the beach, its distribution by the World Food Program (WFP) was still stalled as the organization carried out a risk assessment after the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) carried out operations near the dock as part of a hostage rescue operation.

The jetty has been operating uninterrupted since it docked last week after being dismantled from the coast in anticipation of a large wave, CENTCOM said.
