US announces minimal relief to Gaza as 'Israel' drowns in aid

Although Washington has rushed to deliver additional American taxpayer dollars to fund "Israel's" genocide campaign in Gaza, it has not used any military equipment to allow aid to flow into Gaza.

The United States announced the sending of 3 planes to Egypt to bring humanitarian aid into Gaza amid the implemented truce.

The relief comes 52 days too late and is the first of its kind to reach Gaza by the US since the outset of Israeli bombardment that began right after October 7, in which over 15,000 Palestinians were killed.

US President Joe Biden has claimed that he would use the truce to bring more relief into the Strip and the US Agency for International Development announced that with 1.7 million people displaced and 2.2 million in need of help, "increased humanitarian supplies are essential to saving lives and alleviating suffering for the most vulnerable."

An additional two planes are scheduled to arrive in the next few days.

An agreement to extend the truce agreement in return for a prisoner exchange between the Palestinian Resistance and the Israeli occupation, which Egypt and Qatar mediated, was officially reached on Monday evening, Resistance party Hamas said in a statement.

Chairman of the Egyptian State Information Service, Diaa Rashwan, said today, Tuesday, that 2,812 tons of medical aid 11,427 tons of food, 8,583 tons of water, and 1,048 tons of fuel have entered the Gaza Strip since the onset of the truce. 

However, the current aid being delivered to Gaza is insufficient to make up for the deep deprivation caused by the Israeli blockade on the Strip, UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said on Sunday.

Earlier, the executive director of the WFP, Cindy McCain, warned that the people of Gaza are face to face with starvation as water and food are “practically non-existent”.

On Tuesday, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Spokesperson James Elder told a press briefing that the entirety of the aid for a population like Gaza's was "not even enough for triage" and urged that the aid needed to multiply.

Although Washington has rushed to deliver additional American taxpayer dollars to fund "Israel's" genocide campaign in Gaza, it has not used any military equipment to allow aid to flow into Gaza.

While it fostered the idea that "Israel" was free to "defend itself" by murdering over 6,000 children and killing more than 15,000 Palestinians in total, it was not concerned with their necessary humanitarian aid or beyond harsh living conditions in the least. 

As a matter of fact, an Intercept report revealed that the White House had demanded all limits on weapons and ammunition permissible to "Israel" from US stockpiles be lifted in order to allow it to access even more dangerous weapons to use against Palestinians. 

Not only this, but Biden himself defied staff advice to avoid spreading unconfirmed accusations that Hamas beheaded babies on October 7 during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, purporting Israeli lies that have led to the targeted hate crimes against Palestinians on his own country's soil.
