The U.S. military-built pier in Gaza has been reattached and is operational once again after being detached for the second time due to rough seas, as confirmed by Cyprus officials. The pier serves as a crucial entry point for delivering humanitarian aid, including supplies from the U.N.'s World Food Program, into Gaza. Despite facing setbacks since its erection, including being blown apart by high winds in May, the pier is now back in service.
Cyprus has played a significant role in the operation of the pier, with a security and inspection station it built to screen international aid destined for Gaza. Over the past 40 days, Cyprus has screened and loaded around 10,000 tons of aid onto boats bound for Gaza. The recent detachment of the causeway by the U.S. military was a preventive measure to avoid further damage caused by adverse weather conditions.
