US Aid to Gaza Faces Major Obstacles, Little Reaches Palestinians

The U.N. World Food Program has distributed a limited number of high-energy biscuits in Gaza from a new U.S.-built pier, marking the first aid delivery via this maritime route. Despite the initial success, aid flow remains insufficient to meet the dire needs of Palestinians amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. The U.S. pier project aims to deliver up to 150 truckloads of aid daily, far below the 600 truckloads needed. Israeli restrictions and security issues have further complicated aid efforts, with international officials urging for better cooperation and land route access.
