WASHINGTON (AP) — The pier built by the U.S. military to bring aid to Gaza is being removed due to weather to protect it, and the U.S. is considering not re-installing it unless aid begins flowing out into the population again, several U.S. officials said Friday.

While the military has helped deliver desperately needed food through the pier, the vast majority of it is still sitting in the adjacent storage yard because of the difficulty that agencies have had moving it to areas in Gaza where it is most needed, and that storage area is almost full.

    A reminder this pier basically did nothing more than generate a headline and political posture so it looks like biden did something for Palestinians. Also a reminder that an attack was launched from their pier where many Palestinians were killed by the israelis.
