Recent footage from Gaza has captured the dire circumstances faced by its residents as new humanitarian aid begins to arrive in the region. Dramatic videos show a large crowd of people running after aid trucks and even climbing on top of them in their desperation.

The aid, which arrived today, was delivered from a floating pier set up by the U.S. military. The United Nations has highlighted the severity of the food shortage in Gaza, attributing it to the closure of the Rafah border, which has hindered the passage of critical aid supplies.

U.S. officials have announced that the floating pier will play a crucial role in addressing the crisis by facilitating the delivery of 500 tons of life-saving aid to the Palestinian people on a daily basis.

The collaborative efforts of various organizations and governments to deliver aid to Gaza reflect a commitment to upholding humanitarian principles and addressing the urgent needs of vulnerable populations.
