Aid to Gaza, via ships or via trucks?

From Linkedin….

President Biden, please pick up the phone and get the aid trucks to get inside Gaza.
Jeff Hoey
Everyone is supposed to think “oh finally! Aid will get to those starving people in Gaza!”.Here’s the thing – the supply of food and other aid has been sitting on the border of Gaza since October 7. Only because the Israelis are using starvation, including the starvation of children, as part of their plan of genocide against the Palestinian people, has all that food and other aid not reached them.Hundreds of trucks are waiting. The problem is that this collective punishment, a war crime, in the form of no food and no water, is central to Israel’s apartheid policies. Those trucks cannot get in without the Israelis allowing it and the Israelis will NOT allow it. Food could reach many people tomorrow were it allowed. But it is not to be.It is not to be because the United States and other western nations support and aid Israel in their murderous plans. They can all say what they want to try and salvage votes in November but only by doing the right thing and ending this siege of Gaza will lives be saved.#EndTheOccupation #CeaseFireNow #RememberInNovember
