The White House is defending President Joe Biden's decision to build a pier off Gaza's coast to despite initial hurdles.
, which is tasked with distributing the aid provided from the pier throughout Gaza, has distributed some of the 695 metric tons of food to civilians in Deir al Balah, Al Mawasi, and Khan Yunis, national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Wednesday.
The problem, to date, has not been getting the aid from Cyprus to Gaza. Rather, it’s been the distribution of aid from the shore. “No, it’s not a failure of planning,” Sullivan continued. “Yes, it is an indication this is a dynamic environment we need to continue to refine. But aid is flowing. It is not flowing at the rate that any of us would be happy with because we always want more, but we are actually seeing good cooperation between the U.S., the , the U.N., and other humanitarian organizations to ensure that aid goes from that pier to innocent people in need.
