Gaza aid pier mission involving US troops is off to a chaotic start

An effort involving the U.S. military to surge much-needed humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is off to a chaotic start, with aid trucks being overrun and at least one person feared dead over the weekend, prompting a pause in aid distribution.


U.S. soldiers and sailors built a floating pier off Gaza and stabbed it into a Gaza beach on Friday with the help of Israeli forces.
 
The plan, announced by President Biden in his State of the Union address and using a capability known as Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore, or JLOTS, has been touted as another way to get food to Gazans caught between the Israeli military and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which attacked Israel on Oct. 7.

The only scenario I can imagine here is Shortbus Joe is intending to send stuff to Hamas, and screw the civilians.  Hamas is converting the stolen aid into cash by creating a black market, forcing the rest of the people to spend what little they have. 

They are killing their own people, as they have for the past 80 years.   :shrug:
