U.S. Halts Gaza Aid Pier Amid Ongoing Conflict

The temporary pier, built to deliver humanitarian aid, faces operational challenges and security concerns.

The U.S. has removed the floating pier due to expected high seas, citing safety concerns for service members.
Aid deliveries have been inconsistent, with the pier suffering damage from weather and security issues.
Humanitarian groups have paused aid distribution after an Israeli operation led to significant casualties.
Critics argue that land routes are more effective for aid delivery, urging the U.S. to pressure Israel to ease restrictions.
The conflict in Gaza has displaced tens of thousands and created severe humanitarian needs.
