Biden Administration's U.S. Military Aid Pier in Gaza to Be Permanently Dismantled After 21 Days
Jul 9, 2024, 08:53 PM
The Biden administration's U.S. military aid pier in Gaza, which cost $230 million to build, will be permanently dismantled after operating for only 21 days. The temporary pier, initially damaged in a storm, was reconnected to move remaining aid before its final removal. The project, which aimed to deliver humanitarian aid, faced significant challenges and criticisms. U.S. officials confirmed that the pier will be reinstalled briefly on July 9 to offload aid accumulated in Cyprus and on a floating dock before being dismantled. The decision marks the end of a costly and controversial initiative that has been described as a waste of taxpayer money.
