Gaza Aid Pier Faces Setbacks Amid Weather and Security Challenges

Efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza through a U.S.-built pier encounter repeated difficulties, raising questions about the operation's viability.

The Gaza pier, part of a $320 million U.S. mission, broke apart due to strong winds and heavy seas.
Operations were suspended after multiple incidents, including a soldier's critical injury and vessels running aground.
The Biden administration insists on continuing the mission, citing the urgent need for humanitarian aid in Gaza.
Critics argue the pier's issues highlight the necessity of opening more land routes for aid delivery.
Repairs are underway, with plans to resume aid deliveries once the pier is reassembled.
