The United States military has so far constructed over 50% of a maritime pier that will eventually be placed off the coast of Gaza to speed the flow of humanitarian aid into the enclave, the Pentagon says.
“As of today, we are over 50% complete on setting up the pier,” Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh tells reporters.
Singh says that pier had several different components.
“The floating pier has been completely constructed and setup. The causeway is in progress,” she adds.
