Cindy McCain said the situation on the ground is "a complete disaster" and no aid was getting into the strip.
The US military said on Friday that the first aid shipment to arrive in Gaza via a temporary pier had gone ashore.

I saw a short video on "Shorts" The Zionists were blocking a line of trucks that had arrived from the new pier. They were sitting right in front of the first truck, others were laughing and carrying on. American soldiers built the pier, had to unload the ships, load the trucks. Israel is not letting aid in and I think it's time the soldiers bring it in. Let's see if the Zionists mess with them.

[@wiosna102]

These monstrous Israeli crimes, this horrific genocide must be end immediately. How much longer must the Palestinian people continue to suffer so terribly? It’s obvious that from the very beginning of the conflict Israel has been the cruel criminal and the Palestinians its tragic victim. Free Palestinian state within the borders established by the UN is the only right,just and wisest solution and the only way to achieve peace. Israel must be forced to end the war immediately and accept the establishment of free Palestinian state. Justice must be finally be served.

The leaders car was shot to bits during his escape. Imagine if a Russian did that in the US on Jan 6th!
