The U.S. military-built pier for delivering aid to Gaza has been removed due to adverse weather conditions, with officials considering not reinstalling it unless aid distribution to the population resumes. Despite successfully delivering over 19.4 million pounds of food, the majority remains in storage due to attacks on humanitarian convoys. The U.N. ceased using the pier on June 9 after an Israeli raid nearby raised security concerns. On June 29, the U.N. began moving stored aid to Gaza warehouses to prevent spoilage. The $230 million project, intended as a temporary solution, faces criticism and logistical setbacks, including unpredictable weather and full storage areas. The final decision to reinstall the pier is pending, contingent on weather and security assessments.
