9:06Now PlayingThe makeshift pier built by the US Army off the coast of Gaza will soon be up and running. The expensive project comes with complicated logistics and major concerns but could help ease the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The US Army has finished building the pier, a Pentagon spokesperson told reporters on Tuesday, but added that weather conditions may delay its operation. A ship carrying humanitarian aid departed from a port in Cyprus on Thursday and is set to unload its cargo at the dock over the weekend.
The completion of the pier comes as Israel is conducting operations in the southern city of Rafah, displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, according to UN aid groups. The Israeli military also shut down the Rafah border crossing earlier this week, closing off a crucial entry point necessary for delivering aid to the enclave and Egypt.
