Israel vs Hamas | Rough Seas Damage US-built Temporary Pier In Gaza, Aid Delivery Suspended | G18V

A US built temporary pier that had been used to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza was damaged by rough seas and has temporarily suspended operations. The pier will be repaired, but it was not immediately clear how long that will take. The pier only began operations in the past two weeks and had provided an additional way to get critically needed food to Gaza. The setback is the latest for the $320 million pier, which has already had three US service member injuries and had four if its vessels beached due to heavy seas. Deliveries also were halted for two days last week after crowds rushed aid trucks coming from the pier and one Palestinian man was shot dead. Before the weather damage and suspension, the pier had begun to pick up steam and as of Friday more than 820 metric tons of food aid had been delivered from the sea onto the Gaza beach via the pier.
