| Crowds mob aid trucks |
WFP has warned that the new floating pier installed by the US military as an alternate aid route for Gaza may fail unless Israel can ensure safe movements from the pier to warehouses. Following Israel's closure of the Rafah border and the only occasional ability to move through alternate entry points, the floating pier was seen as the only viable route. The first aid trucks moved from the pier on Friday, but trucks on subsequent days were mobbed by people desperate for food. Movements were then suspended on Sunday and Monday. UN agencies have said that even if the route from the floating pier were working, it could only provide a fraction of the food supplies needed for Gaza.
