(JNS) – Of 569 metric tons of humanitarian aid that has been delivered into Gaza via the temporary pier not a single one has yet been distributed to Gazans in need, Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, admitted during a press conference on Tuesday.

“Is it, am I accurate to say zero has been delivered to the people of Gaza so far?” a reporter asked.
“You’d have to check with the World Food Program,” Ryder responded. “I know that aid is getting in, but it’s not accurate that no aid has been delivered. You know, we’ve been doing airdrops. We’ve been helping to facilitate aid coming over the land crossings, but the causeway has been able to get over 569 metric tons of aid into Gaza for onward delivery.”
“So, yes, very shortly, I think you’ll see aid starting to be delivered,” the Pentagon spokesman said.
The reporter persisted, asking Ryder whether any of that aid had been delivered as of today.
“As of today? I do not believe so,” the Pentagon spokesman said.

On May 14, Ryder said at a Pentagon press briefing that the U.S. Defense Department estimates that the pier will cost $320 million.
The Washington Post reported that World Food Program staff said “some of that aid had reached recipients.” The article did not provide more detail on the amount or who the recipients were.
All that “aid” delivered by the US, over a pier that the US built is not being received by its intended recipients.
And it’s all Israel’s fault…. Just because.
Aid to Africa does not go to the correct recipients. VIN posted a story years ago about some prince using the funds to purchase multiple luxury automobiles for himself. This was the only site that posted the story. There’s no outrage over Africa
And once that food gets on shore it falls into the hands of Hamas.
Yet somehow it’s our fault?
They knew this would be the end result and didn’t care. Why? Because the Democrats support the terrorists. Stop with the nonsense about Biden coming out strong on 10/7. Many said from day one, he was going to turn around completely. And they were correct.
Stop feeding and fueling our enemies
aid to Gaza goes first to Hamas and then to the other terrorists, and then to the terror supporters and the rest which is zero goes to the poor folk
