JAKARTA - The United Nations (UN) announced it would support floating piers off the coast of Gaza, provided that neutrality of humanitarian operations is respected.
"The PBB agreed to support receipts and arrange aid deliveries to Gaza from floating piers as long as it respects the neutrality and independence of humanitarian operations," UN deputy spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters on Friday, May 17.
Launching ANTARA, Saturday, May 18, the approval, said Haq, was reached after the United Nations had months of discussions with all relevant authorities.
While emphasizing that the port could complement existing land routes to meet the "big needs" in Gaza, Haq said, "This is not meant to replace any crossings."
Haq said that the assistance that came there was entirely humanitarian. He added that assistance would be provided by "a number of countries and humanitarian organizations."

Given that Rafah's border crossing is still closed, Haq said the security situation at the Kerem SALom border crossing continues to hinder the distribution of humanitarian aid.
"Between May 6 and May 15, so within nine days, there were 33 trucks, not 33 trucks a day but 33 trucks as a whole, carrying food that entered through the Shamilom Brakes."
"Then, there were 121 food-carrying trucks entering through the Erez crossing, and then 156 flower-carrying trucks reportedly arrived in northern Gaza via the Zikim crossing."
He also mentioned that fuel is still very limited.
