Report: Most Aid Delivered to Gaza Via U.S. Pier Is Being Stolen
Breitbart ^ | 05/22/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Most of the aid being delivered to Gaza via the new “floating pier” constructed by the U.S. military is being stolen, according to reports.

The pier, announced by President Joe Biden in his State of the Union address, was completed last week, and the Pentagon said Tuesday that 569 metric tons of aid had been brought ashore thus far.

However, the Pentagon is unable to say how much, if any, of that aid has actually reached the organizations that are supposed to distribute it, as reports have emerged of Palestinians simply seizing aid from the back of delivery trucks.

I don’t know when people finally wake up, everything senile Joe touches gets corrupted……from expensive Piers that have absolutely no benefits to Americans to Wars in Ukraine…..

Two things are clear, the Palestinian toilet of corruption is no different than the Ukie toilet of corruption…..or our Congressional toilet.

Surprise! Israel would be the logical source of security, but they have their own manpower problems and are already bringing hundreds of trucks of aid into Gaza daily. Which meet the same fate once turned over to the UN and non profits. On the other hand, at least the terrorists are well fed, as are those in Gaza who can afford black market prices.

“Most of the crates are labeled “food” but probably contain weapons for Hamas.”

One of the reasons for the pier is to deliver US supplied stuff that Israel doesn’t need to inspect.

As I proposed earlier, US aid could be put in plastic garbage bags and dropped into the waters off Gaza. Theses aid packages would float and Gazans could swim out to retrieve them.

What exactly does this aid consist of?

If it’s food and bottled water, then hopefully the stuff is injected with the COVID “vaccine”. /spit

For their next trick Hamas is going to bomb the pier... I will put ten bucks on that action.

Nope, post #2 is correct. This is free food for the terrorists plus cash as they sell off the rest. This is basically U,.S. aid to the terrorists

I’d agree...going back to 1970s, this has been the strategy of all incoming goods.

...None of the food and supplies that has entered the Gaza Strip through a U.S.-built temporary pier in its first five days of operation has been distributed to Palestinians by aid organizations, Gen. Patrick S. Ryder, the Pentagon spokesperson, said at a news briefing Tuesday.

Ryder said that 569 metric tons of aid had made it onto Gaza’s shore but that those supplies had yet to be parceled out by humanitarian organizations.

On Saturday, hungry crowds looted several World Food Program trucks transporting aid that had been delivered through the pier, prompting the agency to suspend deliveries of aid arriving at the pier on Sunday and Monday...

They’re inspected by Israel on Cyprus but not on arrival in Israel. Who knows what’s added in between, particularly since Hamas is beginning to lose their supply tunnels to Egypt.

They might recall the story of the Gaza hothouses. During their occupation of Gaza, the Israelis developed a system of hothouses that exported millions of dollars of fruit around the world. When they left Gaza in 2008, they planned to dismantle the hothouses, but philanthropists agreed to purchase them and then hand them over to the Palestinian Authority as a gesture of peace. Former World Bank President James Wolfensohn even put up half a million dollars of his own cash to purchase the hothouses.

However, the moment the Israelis left, mobs of Gazans looted the hothouses, carrying off pumps, hoses tools, and other items as police stood by. In subsequent fighting, the hothouses were completely destroyed.

Biden is a Hamas supporter or rather his aids are as they, his wife and Obama are running the country.

I detect the not-so-faint aroma of Valerie Jarrett..

Biden’s people just refuse to accept the Palestinian people for who they are. Historically they are known as a nation of thieves and troublemakers. When they lived in Jordan they were kicked out for being a disruptive force within their nation, ditto when they were in Lebanon. It’s in their DNA to be sub-humans. Mothers sell their small children to be suicide bombers.
