$230 Million U.S. Military Aid Pier in Gaza to Be Permanently Dismantled After 21 Days of Operation
Jul 9, 2024, 07:57 PM
The U.S. military aid pier in Gaza, which cost $230 million to build, is set to be permanently dismantled after operating for only 21 days. The pier, initially made inoperable by a storm, will be reassembled for a final time this week to transfer the remaining aid before its permanent removal. The project, plagued by bad weather and security uncertainties, was intended to facilitate the delivery of aid to Palestinians. Approximately 1,100 pallets are currently en route to Gaza from Cyprus, with nearly all previously offloaded pallets already distributed. This decision comes amid significant speculation about the future of the pier's mission. Some sources reported the cost to be $320 million.
