US military says temporary pier for Gaza aid deliveries is operational again
US Central Command says that it has “successfully reestablished” the temporary pier to facilitate aid deliveries into the Gaza Strip by sea.
“The pier’s reestablishment will allow for the continued delivery of much-needed humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza,” CENTCOM says in a statement.
“In coming days, CENTCOM will facilitate the movement of vital food and other emergency supplies, in support of the US Agency for International Development,” the statement reads.
The US suspended aid deliveries last week after the pier was damaged by bad weather.
The disruption came less than two weeks after the US began operating the pier, which cost $320 million to assemble.
