A truck carries humanitarian aid across Trident Pier, a temporary pier to deliver aid, off the Gaza Strip, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, near the Gaza coast, May 19, 2024.After being out of commission for almost two weeks, the U.S. military's temporary pier has been repaired and was reattached to a beach in Gaza on Friday morning with humanitarian aid deliveries expected to resume "in the coming days," said a top U.S.
The specific part of the pier that broke off from the causeway, anchored to the beach, is the larger platform where small Army vessels unloaded the trucks that would be driven onto it. The trucks would then head toward a marshaling area where aid is transferred to other trucks for distribution inside Gaza by the United Nation's World Food Program.
