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.

And once more the misguided, incompetent and criminally negligent US government helps keep the carnage rolling. Good job Libs, good job.
Which were sold for rockets and guns.
Our people make one mistake after another!
Why not just truck some down from that 500 ton cache in Ukraine.
Do you think that if that money was given to the States instead that one cent would make it to the homeless? It would be blown on programs that make things worse.
How about not spending it at all?
The terrorscum have already taken possession of it all.
Hamas will probably keep 50,000 lbs of it and give the 4,000 lbs to hungry Gazans.

Why would they give them any? They are bargaining chips and propaganda pieces - they have no other value; the worse it is for the Hamas-loving citizens, the more propaganda value they accrue.
The situation in our own cities is getting worse everyday and we are helping GAZA? May God help us.
Supplying and supporting the enemy here is akin to supplying the gas for the ovens at Auschwitz. Until the American taxpayers wake up and throw out the bums who support such folly nothing will change. Our tax money, going to support the enemy, the illegals who invade our country for our largess, our health care, and our educational system etc instead of providing for OUR citizens and needy veterans MUST stop !! Not even sure Trump can / would correct this but looks like he is our only hope for even a little common sense and reason.
54,000 lb is a little over one semi trailer load of “aid”
“...where people have been running out of fuel, water and food amid bombing by Israel.”
This is what war includes and is part of what makes it detesible to participate in. So we are again empowering hamas to further terrorize and brutally murder people. Hamas will not be stopped until the people of Gaza stop them. Same thing happened in the colonies English 1700’s revolution. The colonies won and the English had to go away.

I wouldn’t give those murderous saracens one drop of sweat from my scrotum if they were dying of thirst.
Exactly right, it’s nothing - unless of course it’s 54,000 lbs of cash...and knowing this regime, that’s exactly what it is.
Resupplying HAMAS. Whatever constitutes the supplies, HAMAS will get it all.
Fixed it.
And this is in addition to the billions in frozen assets Blinken just sent to Iran.
The "Biden" junta works for the terrorists.
Whatever it takes to keep the war going and the terrorists fat and happy
A shame it wasn’t 54 1000lb iron bombs.
U.S re supplying hamas. Disgusting
How much humanitarian aid was delivered to East Palestine, Ohio?
