The US military has temporarily halted the construction of a humanitarian pier and causeway off the coast of Gaza due to forecasted high winds and high sea swells, as reported by US Central Command (CENTCOM). The pause was deemed necessary to ensure the safety of soldiers working on the partially constructed pier, which began construction last week.
According to CENTCOM, the construction activities have now been relocated to the Port of Ashdod, one of Israel's main cargo ports north of Gaza. The partially built pier and military vessels involved in the construction have been moved to Ashdod for assembly to continue until weather conditions improve.
