US-Built Gaza Aid Pier Faces Setbacks Amid Heavy Seas and Mismanagement
TL;DR Summary
Heavy seas have swept away vessels supporting a US-built pier for Gaza aid, but the pier remains functional. Four vessels broke free, with two beached near the pier and two drifting towards Israel. Recovery efforts are ongoing with no reported injuries. The $320m pier, completed in May, has faced criticism as a costly alternative to opening land crossings for aid. Despite initial challenges, the World Food Programme has received 97 trucks of aid since the pier's operation began.
