Building of US pier ‘futile’ and lacks sincerity to help Palestinians: Gaza media office

In a statement, the Government Media Office in Gaza has cast doubt on the US-built so-called humanitarian aid pier and its effectiveness in helping Palestinians.

• “In the wake of the World Food Programme’s announcement of stopping the entry of their aid into Gaza through the American floating dock due to security concerns, we once again confirm the futility of this dock, as we have not seen any serious contribution to it since its inauguration a month and a half ago, to alleviate the catastrophic humanitarian reality.”
• “If the American administration were serious in its approach to mitigate the impact of the humanitarian catastrophe, and sincere in its intentions to help our people, it would have pressured the occupation to open the land crossings.”
• “We call on the international community to take urgent and serious action – before it is too late – to ensure the entry of aid to all areas of the Gaza Strip.”
