The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the resumption of humanitarian aid deliveries to the Gaza coast. According to this command, the distribution of humanitarian aid resumed on Saturday around 10:30 AM Gaza time. On Saturday, June 9, an additional 492 tons of humanitarian aid were delivered to the people of Gaza, bringing the total amount of aid to 1,574 tons. CENTCOM stated that no American military personnel entered the Gaza coast and emphasized that this effort was 'entirely humanitarian in nature,' including aid supplies donated by several countries and humanitarian organizations. CENTCOM also mentioned that the humanitarian pier - including its equipment and personnel - was not used in Israel's hostage rescue operations, and an area south of these facilities was used by the Israeli army to safely return hostages to their country. This temporary floating pier was constructed under the orders of Joe Biden, the President of the United States, and assembled on the Gaza coast, which lacks port infrastructure. Last month, the United States halted the flow of aid through the maritime route to Gaza due to damage to part of the temporary pier and disconnected it from its connection point on the coastline. The pier was temporarily moved to the port of Ashdod in Israel and successfully reconnected to the point in Gaza after repairs on Friday, June 9. The Israeli army is reinforcing its forces to secure the aid pier to Gaza. The U.S. Secretary of State is heading to the Middle East to follow up on Biden's ceasefire plan and persuade Hamas and Israel. The United States stated that the collapse of the Palestinian Authority would have widespread negative implications for Israel. Mediators in Doha continue their efforts for a ceasefire in Gaza. Leaders of 17 countries supported Biden's plan for a ceasefire in Gaza. The European Union announced its 'full support' for the U.S. proposal to halt the fighting in Gaza, stating it is beneficial for the region and the world.
