Egypt has agreed to send United Nations humanitarian aid trucks through Israel’s main crossing into Gaza, but it’s unclear if they can enter into the southern city of Rafah as Israel ramps up its offensive against Hamas militants.
Israeli troops seized the Rafah crossing into Egypt and it has been inoperative since. However, the Kerem Shalom crossing into Israel has remained open, The Associated Press reported.
The U.N. said it has only received 143 trucks in the last 19 days. Hundreds of trucks of aid have been sitting in Gaza unretrieved by a humanitarian group, Israeli officials said, per the AP.
Instead, the U.N. has had to deliver aid from a northern Gaza border crossing and the newly built U.S. pier that brings supplies by sea.
Israel said it has been sending trucks across the port of entry, but the U.N. says it can’t reach Kerem Shalom because the fighting makes it too dangerous.
Nearly 900,000 people are fleeing Rafah, the city they took refuge at throughout the war, as Israel continues its military operation in the region. Relief agencies say there’s nowhere safe left for them to go.
The steel pier IS complicated.The pier has been criticised as a complicated and costly alternative that tries to deflect attention from demanding a much simpler solution – for Israel to fully open all land crossings to Gaza and to secure aid trucks going in.

The money quote from the article
The steel pier IS complicated.
The steel pier IS costly.
The RIGHT THING would be for Israel to open all land crossings to Gaza.
The world has realized that genocidal Israel cannot be counted upon to do the right thing.
Israel has been exposed as simply another middle eastern shithole country, propped up by US aid.
TARQUMIYAH, West Bank — Radical Israeli settlers have expanded their attacks on aid trucks passing through the West Bank this month, blocking food from reaching Gaza as humanitarian groups warn that the enclave is sinking deeper into famine.
Groups of settler youth are tailing relief convoys, setting up checkpoints and interrogating drivers. In some cases, far-right attackers have ransacked and burned trucks and beaten Palestinian drivers, leaving at least two hospitalized.
The assailants use a web of publicly accessible WhatsApp groups to track the trucks and coordinate attacks, providing a window into their activities. Working off what they say are tips from Israeli soldiers and police, in addition to the public, members pore over photos to work out which vehicles might be carrying aid to Gaza and mobilize local supporters to block them.
An attack on Thursday showed the system in action: Users in one WhatsApp group with more than 800 members began posting about a flatbed truck loaded with sugar, sharing photos from the road as they followed it.

A mere speck on the graph that ranks the 69 Japanese cities and the hundreds of thousands of civilians destroyed by your grandfather's generation in WWII. (100,000 in the city of Tokyo alone)Oops! Israeli air strike on refugee camp kills 45 civilians on Sunday.
How egregious was this war crime?
No less than Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu deemed this cowardly criminal act a "tragic mistake".

G-d damn, Laz, I read the article.God damn, Rob, read the fucking article.
Save the histrionics.
According to your own article, Israel was fired on by Hamas rockets from Rafah, and Israel retaliated to destroy the launchers. If there were civilian casualties as a result, who is really to blame???
Hamas keeps bringing more death and suffering to Gaza.
