Aboard Air Force One during a flight to Boston on Tuesday, U.S. deputy press secretary Olivia Dalton described how the federal government had organized a second flight to get assistance to Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip who have been displaced by war.
On its way, she said, are “36,000 pounds of food assistance and medical supplies,” airlifted by the U.S. Department of Defense at USAID’s request.
Dalton said the items arrived in Egypt for ground transport into Gaza, where they would be distributed by U.N. agencies.
USAID administrator Samantha Power has also arrived in Egypt to assist in working to “accelerate the pace of vitally needed assistance into Gaza,” Dalton said.
So far, aid to Gaza has included mobilizing more than $100 million in humanitarian assistance and 90,000-plus pounds of food and supplies.
Dalton said that the administration “will continue to work to sustain and expand the international humanitarian response and keep rallying the international community to do the same.” JNS
Yahya Sinwar will see to it that he and his wife and the rest of the Hamas hierarchy get their 40% cut, 40% goes for tunnels and 20% in emergency relief for the Gazan peeps.
All humanitarian aid for Gaza should be given to Israel. Israel should be in charge of distribution, in charge of time of distribution , in charge of who gets the aid and when. Distribution by Israel should be withheld pending the release of every single hostage.
Believe me, when it comes to terrorists money is the best dangling carrot.
