Aid trucks are currently allowed past the southern border checkpoints at a rate of about 200 per day, about 40 percent of the pre-conflict traffic volume.
US Central Command stated on X that “Construction of the floating JLOTS pier in the Mediterranean is underway.The pier will support USAID and humanitarian partners to receive and deliver humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza”.
