"White House Welcomes Israeli Decision to Ship Flour to Gaza Through Ashdod Port"

Israel has agreed to allow shipments of flour to Gaza to arrive via the port in Ashdod, following a call between President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. The White House welcomed this decision, which aims to alleviate food shortages in Gaza. Aid groups have been calling for this move, as the UN warns of an imminent risk of famine in the territory. Palestinians in Gaza are struggling to find basic necessities, with flour in high demand to make bread. The port deal comes after appeals from international agencies for greater humanitarian assistance to be allowed into Gaza.
