UN World Food Program pauses aid distribution in Gaza due to security concerns after Israeli military assault.

The UN World Food Program has paused its humanitarian aid distribution from an American-built pier in Gaza due to security concerns. This comes after an Israeli military assault that freed hostages but resulted in the deaths of 274 Palestinians and one Israeli commando, as well as two of WFP's warehouses being rocketed in Gaza. The US Agency for International Development described the pause as a step to allow for a security review by the humanitarian community in Gaza. The US set up the sea route to bring more aid to Gaza's starving population.
