Pentagon says over 50 percent of Gaza pier construction complete
More than 50% of the construction of a temporary pier off Gaza’s coast to deliver humanitarian aid has been completed.
Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh says the floating pier has been completely constructed and set up.
The causeway is in progress.
Humanitarian aid delivery will begin in May.
The Pentagon announced on March 8 that it would undertake an emergency mission to establish the pier on the Gazan coast to deliver up to 2 million humanitarian aid meals per day.
Israel supports the building of this pier whereas Palestinian and the UN demand that Israel allow the existing system of aid flow to work.
