A US floating pier off Gaza’s coast has failed to ease the humanitarian crisis, with Salama Marouf, head of Gaza’s Government Media Office, saying that “this pier is useless”.
He added that “humanitarian aid worth 120 trucks have been channeled through the pier since it was built”, in mid-May, Al Jazeera reported.
Aid groups have long warned that the US pier is an ineffective way to deliver aid and cannot be a substitute for opening land routes, which had been blocked or severely restricted by Israel.
It was also reported that the pier was used in the Israeli captive rescue operation in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza that killed more than 270 people.
