US delivers 54,000 pounds of humanitarian supplies to Gaza

The U.S. said it had delivered more than 54,000 pounds of humanitarian supplies to Gaza on Tuesday as a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas was extended amid prisoner releases.

The ceasefire has provided a window for humanitarian efforts in the small territory, where people have been running out of fuel, water and food amid bombing by Israel. Gaza is controlled by Hamas, which is designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government.

In a release, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) said it had airlifted “24.5 metric tons, more than 54,000 pounds, of UN humanitarian supplies to provide vitally needed medical supplies and food and nutrition assistance to the people of Gaza.”

“A U.S. Air Force C-17 aircraft delivered the items to Egypt, where they will be transported via ground into Gaza and then distributed by UN agencies,” it said.

What Hamas can’t use themselves will be sold on the black market.

Hamas will probably keep 50,000 lbs of it and give the 4,000 lbs to hungry Gazans.

At which point it will, like with all dictatorships, be hoarded by the regime so none will get to the people.

The SNL skit of Bill Clinton eating the food of McD’s customers with cries of “Warlords!” comes to mind.
