Doubts surround America’s Gaza pier solution to bring aid
NGOs are skeptical about America’s proposal to build a maritime pier off Gaza’s coast to expedite aid delivery.
Despite no scarcity of humanitarian aid, Israeli inspections and ongoing conflict have obstructed its distribution on land.
Deepmala Mahla from CARE International questions the necessity of a pier when supplies are readily available nearby.
Kate Phillips-Barrasso of Mercy Corps highlights that the issue lies in restrictive conditions at land crossings, suggesting a maritime corridor would not change much.
Some view the pier plan as a symbolic gesture of desperation from the U.S. government.
