US Humanitarian Pier in Gaza Deemed Ineffective After $230M Effort

Report highlights logistical failures, security issues, and adverse weather as key factors in the project's shortcomings.

The temporary pier aimed to deliver aid to Gaza but operated for only 20 days due to rough seas and storms.
The project, announced by President Biden, faced criticism for inadequate planning and execution.
USAID's report indicates the pier delivered less than a third of the intended assistance.
Security concerns and looting further hampered aid distribution efforts.
Lessons learned from this initiative may influence future humanitarian aid strategies.
