US Halts Gaza Aid Pier Operations Amid Persistent Challenges

Technical issues and security concerns force premature end to humanitarian mission

The temporary pier delivered over 8,000 metric tons of aid despite frequent interruptions.
Weather and technical problems hindered consistent operation since its installation in May.
The United Nations suspended aid delivery from the pier after a deadly Israeli military operation.
Efforts to re-anchor the pier failed, leading to its early decommissioning.
Alternative methods to deliver aid to Gaza are being explored, including using the port of Ashdod.
