Selfless and strong: memorial honours World Central Kitchen aid workers killed in Gaza -Gazawar
"Gaza-based militants attack Israeli forces preparing for US pier"
"Gaza-based militants launched mortar rounds on Wednesday at Israeli forces making preparations for the U.S.-led effort to establish a new maritime aid route for Gaza, according to three U.S. officials.
No American equipment was damaged as the U.S.-led project which will establish a pier a few miles offshore as well as a causeway anchored to the beach to expand access to humanitarian aid."
I wish the crew they stay safe and healthy.
We have completed all technical and crewing requirements in order to launch the Freedom Flotilla to on Friday April 26, 2024. Our final group of participants are undergoing the required direct-action training today. Our Flotilla will carry over 5000 tons of life-saving and hundreds of human rights observers to ensure the aid gets promptly to in Gaza without interference.
A pier off the coast of Gaza to facilitate the distribution of humanitarian aid is scheduled to be finished and in operation in early May, but unanswered questions remain about how it will be run. U.S. President Biden ordered the construction of the pier in March after experts warned Gaza was facing potential famine. A United Nations official says the U.N. wants to use its own security to protect the World Food Program staff instead of the Israeli military, citing their desire to remain neutral in the conflict. ABC News has more on the project.

A sweeping foreign aid package easily passed the U.S. Congress late Tuesday after months of delay, clearing the way for fresh Ukraine funding amid advances from Russia's invasion force and Kyiv's shortages of military supplies.
An expected Israeli assault on Rafah has aid groups scrambling for ways to help the 1.5 million civilians sheltering in the south Gaza city.
I sent an article describing this mission last week. Have been following up for any developments, as it strikes me as "mission impossible".
Today, "informed Comment" have published this article. What the Freedom Flotilla" are doing is truly impressive. I just hope it materializes and doesn't end up in a slaughter of aid workers. Israeli forces have a knack for killing aid workers, health workers, journalists, civilians, children. Anything non-Zionist

Periodic reminder: there's no such thing as "military aid."
Even if you believe they're justified, military subsidies for a government or other armed group fail all four of the :
When you try to pass proxy warfare off as "aid," you put real aid and aid workers in (even more) jeopardy.
After crippling weapons shortage, how significant is new US aid package

Apr 22, 2024
Ukraine's foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba has called on his European Union counterparts to step up their commitments to Kyiv's war effort, to prevent what he described as 'worst-case scenarios.'
Many EU foreign and defense ministers meeting in Luxembourg expressed relief over the US House of Representatives approving a massive foreign aid package for Ukraine over the weekend. But the EU ministers stopped short of pledging more Patriot air defense systems as has been urgently requested by Kyiv.

Any help appreciated.
