U.S. Aid Pier in Gaza Faces Significant Challenges

The $230 million temporary pier constructed by the U.S. military to expedite humanitarian aid to Gaza is reportedly falling short of its objectives, according to aid organizations. Initially designed as a temporary solution, the pier is expected to cease operations weeks earlier than planned.


Despite being intended as a provisional measure, the pier is unlikely to achieve even its limited goals, according to some U.S. officials. Since its installation a month ago, the pier has only been operational for about 10 days. The remaining time has been spent on repairs due to damage from rough seas, detaching the pier to prevent further damage, or halting operations due to security concerns.
