US-built pier in Gaza is reconnected after repairs, and aid will flow soon, US Central Command says
SUMMARY
The U.S. military-built pier designed to deliver critical aid into Gaza has been reconnected to the beach after heavy storms and rough seas damaged it, halting deliveries. Vice Adm. Brad Cooper of U.S. Central Command announced that humanitarian aid, including food and other supplies, will soon resume flowing through the pier, with a target of moving 1 million pounds of aid every two days. The pier had initially struggled to meet delivery goals due to weather and logistical issues but had been improving before the storm damage. The reconnection and repairs are expected to boost aid delivery to Gaza, according to CENTCOM.
