U.S. to End Gaza Humanitarian Pier Operations After Persistent Setbacks

Technical issues and rough seas have plagued the $230 million project, leading to its imminent closure.

The U.S. military's Gaza pier has delivered nearly 20 million pounds of aid since May 17.
Efforts to re-anchor the pier failed due to weather and technical problems.
The pier, initially a temporary solution, faced multiple relocations and repairs.
U.S. officials are considering alternative routes for aid delivery, including via the Israeli port of Ashdod.
The mission's end comes amid ongoing challenges in distributing aid within Gaza.
