US-built Gaza pier for humanitarian aid damaged by rough seas, temporarily removed for repairs.

The US military-built temporary pier off Gaza's coast for humanitarian aid has been damaged by rough seas, according to the Pentagon. The pier, which cost $320 million for the first 90 days and involved around 1,000 US service members, has been temporarily removed for repairs. It will be towed over the next 48 hours to Ashdod port in Israel before being repaired and returned to its original location off the coast of Gaza within a week.
