"US-Built Gaza Pier Collapses, Halting Aid Deliveries"

A U.S. military-built pier in Gaza, intended to deliver humanitarian aid, broke apart due to severe weather just over a week after becoming operational. Despite its $320 million cost, the project has faced criticism for not meeting expectations. Repairs are underway, with plans to reassemble and reinstall the pier next week. Aid groups have mixed reactions, with some viewing the pier as a distraction from more effective land routes. The Biden administration maintains that the pier was never meant to be a complete solution to Gaza's humanitarian crisis.
