Recent claims suggesting that a temporary pier installed in Gaza was utilized for Israel's hostage rescue operations have been refuted by U.S. officials. A spokesperson for U.S. aid has categorically denied any involvement of humanitarian aid workers in such activities, emphasizing the challenging and insecure conditions under which they operate. The U.S. Central Command has clarified that the sole purpose of the pier is to facilitate the transportation of critically needed life-saving assistance into Gaza.
The temporary pier in question was constructed by the U.S. military with the specific intention of aiding in the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. The U.S. aid spokesperson reiterated that any assertions linking the pier to hostage rescue operations are baseless and untrue.
It is essential to recognize the vital role that humanitarian aid plays in providing essential support to vulnerable populations in conflict zones. The installation of the temporary pier underscores the commitment of the U.S. military to supporting humanitarian efforts in Gaza and ensuring that aid reaches those in need.
