US military ends Gaza floating aid pier mission | BBC News

The US military has ended its mission to operate a temporary floating pier to deliver more aid to the Gaza Strip.

Supplies from Cyprus would now be shipped by US vessels to the Israeli port of Ashdod.

The pier was only operational for about 20 days due to bad weather, technical and security problems.

The UN and other humanitarian organisations have said the total delivered via the pier represents a tiny fraction of the aid required by the 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza.

Aid for the people of Gaza was never the mission of the floating Pier

BBC comment sections are always a special kind of unhinged regardless of the story

As one of the Bangladeshi students, I would like to inform you that Bangladesh is now in a great crisis, especially for the students.The students of Bangladesh have started a peaceful protest against quota system.But the heartless government is using the police force to attack the protesting students. Many students have already died. The government has shut down all the network systems to avoid leaking information. Students are getting hurt for seeking rights. So please help Bangladeshi students by promoting this issue.

The guest is an absolute weasel, why no aid from the Egyptian border?

The British were the ones to draw this map of their former colony, to explicitly single out 2 million Rohingya Muslims in a majority-Buddhist Burma. Not to mention, those Buddhists are still fighting each other too since independence from the UK. The British drew up Palestine. The British drew up Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Sudan. The French drew up Syria, Lebanon, Algeria. The Belgians drew up the Congo. Spanish and Portuguese drew up South and Central America. The majority of conflicts, BBC, that have taken place since the dissolution of your former empire have taken place in former European colonial territories.

Solidarity with the Bangladeshi students

[XTSu-slbb]

Why is the America’s responsibility to deliver aid to Palestine? Why don’t the surrounding countries send aid?

The current situation in Bangladesh is very bad. Common students in our universities are not safe. Many mothers' laps are empty every day. The mother is crying with her child's body on her chest. Please help us.
