Pentagon to Dismantle Costly Gaza Aid Pier
TL;DR Summary
U.S. Central Command has recommended permanently dismantling a temporary pier used to deliver aid to Gaza due to weather and mechanical issues. The pier, operational for only 20 days since May, has delivered nearly 20 million pounds of aid. Despite its challenges, the pier was part of President Biden's plan to aid Gaza without U.S. troops entering the region. The Pentagon has not yet made a final decision, but the recommendation is to cease operations.
