Today, Friday, the first ship loaded with humanitarian aid arrived at the temporary floating port, which was established by the United States, off the coast of the Gaza Strip, according to what was announced by Palestinian and American sources.
The US Army Central Command stated that the aid arriving at the dock is part of “an ongoing, multinational effort to provide additional assistance to Palestinian civilians.”
The US Department of Defense (the Pentagon) announced the start of operation of the floating port. The Pentagon explained, in a statement, that the mission of the floating dock is to provide humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza.
The aid includes relief materials donated by a number of countries and humanitarian organizations.
Palestinian sources said that the ship, which arrived, carried food, medicine and some basic supplies.
The sources explained that the ship stopped off the coast of the Gaza Strip while crews affiliated with the World Food Organization worked to unload it via other small boats and bring it through the floating port to the trucks that were waiting opposite it.
