U.S. Aid Delivering Pier In Gaza To Be Permanently Removed

The pier has helped deliver over 19.4 million pounds of aid for suffering palestinians, but the obstacles are too great for the project to continue operating.

The U.S. floating pier aimed at transporting aid into Gaza will be permanently removed.

The pier was installed with intentions of getting aid to Palestinians amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. It was expected to be a route that would avoid blocked off borders and more. However, the pier was removed shortly after installation due to being damaged during bad weather.

The pier will be reinstalled today to be used for several days, after which it will be removed. The decision comes as the project has faced several setbacks and difficulties related to weather and high seas. It also comes as Israeli troops push deeper into Gaza which stalled deliveries due to ongoing security threats.
