#GazaPier repaired, #US to resume #aid, #Pentagon says
US & #Israel reattached a floating pier to the #Gaza coastline Fri, ofcls said, as the #UnitedStates prepares to resume #humanitarian ops. Vice Adm Brad Cooper, a snr US military officer overseeing the mission, said deliveries of food & other badly needed supplies will begin “in coming days.” The first will include 500k pounds of aid, w/thousands of tons more in the pipeline behind it.
An Israeli strike killed three family members travelling by car in central Gaza’s Nuseirat. The people killed ran a kitchen providing free meals for Gaza’s displaced.
The US state department falsified a report earlier this month to absolve Israel of responsibility for blocking humanitarian aid flows into Gaza, overruling the advice of its own experts, according to Stacey Gilbert, a former senior US official who resigned this week.
Gilbert had been one of the department’s subject matter experts who drafted the report mandated under national security memorandum 20 (NSM-20) and published on 10 May.
The Israeli military has lifted a ban on the sale of food to Gaza from Israel & the occupied #WestBank as its battlefield offensive chokes international aid, acc/to #Palestinian officials, businessmen (sic) & international aid workers.
Distributing #aid entails more than just simply bringing in trucks into the Gaza Strip.
“Humanitarian assistance is a really complex echo system of activities that we need to legitimise throughout that whole chain. It is not just about crossing the border; it is about moving supplies around the border, it’s about having humanitarian workers who are safe, able to treat people, able to distribute food safely and to be able themselves to have somewhere to live."

Some #Israelis think they "must" #vandalize#aid#convoys, destroying food & medical supplies, because starving civilians in #Gaza would surely bring hostages home.
»“We would prefer that we don’t have to do the blockages, honestly,” Ariel said.
“I don’t like ransacking things. It’s not one of my favourite hobbies. But we prefer that to the death of our friends and family, which is what happens the longer this war drags on."«
The #UnitedStates is preparing a $275M #military#aid package for #Ukraine, which will include 155mm artillery shells, precision aerial munitions & ground vehicles….
The weapons aid, which could be announced as soon as Fri, will utilize Presidential Drawdown Authority, which authorizes the president to transfer articles & services from US stocks w/o specific congressional approval during an emergency.
As a part of the $95B aid bills, #Congress authorized $60.8B worth of various forms of #aid to #Ukraine, including $8B worth of presidential drawdown authority items.
While the package mainly includes munitions, it also includes vehicles that are designed to recover disabled tanks & other heavy equipment from the battlefield, a sign that the #UnitedStates expects attacks & equipment losses to continue.

We're all sick physically due to someone contaminating the water near us. We need pain meds and food but are broke until next month and lost $500 due to a banking hack at the start of this month.
