USA Announces End of Temporary Pier in Gaza Strip
The US has announced the closure of a temporary aid pier in the Gaza Strip after facing multiple challenges. The pier, which was constructed to deliver much-needed aid to the Palestinian territory, faced damage due to bad weather and was temporarily removed for repairs.
Despite the difficulties in distributing the aid and the high cost of the project, the US military considers it a success. The pier delivered nearly 20 million pounds of aid during a period of near-famine in Gaza.
However, it also faced criticism for diverting attention from the need to open more border crossings with Israel. In addition, the distribution of aid within Gaza was hindered by insecurity and lawlessness.
In light of these challenges, Israel plans to use the Ashdod port and Pier 28 as alternative routes for aid delivery. The closure of the temporary pier comes amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which was triggered by a major attack by Hamas fighters and other militant Palestinian groups.
As a result of the conflict, thousands of people have been killed, and the situation in Gaza remains dire.
