Defense Minister: Israel "Aiming to Flood Gaza with Humanitarian Assistance"
(i24News) Guy Azriel - Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Wednesday cited major initiatives to increase the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza. These include approval of using Ashdod Port for the entry of goods into Gaza; approval of a new crossing point for aid to reach northern Gaza, relieving pressure on existing entry points; and collaboration with Jordan to deliver aid by trucks transiting Israel. They also include increasing cooperation with international organizations to prevent misidentification such as occurred in the World Central Kitchen incident, and collaboration with the U.S. on the floating pier it is building for the delivery of aid by sea.
