Gaza Pier Repaired, Aid To Flow Soon
U.S. officials expect to begin moving half a million pounds of aid over the beach in the coming days, and ramp that up after.

The Trident Pier in Gaza has been repaired after storm damage and aid is expected to soon flow to those who need it.

The Trident humanitarian aid pier in Gaza has been re-attached and supplies will start arriving over the coming days, U.S. Central Command’s deputy commander announced Friday. The pier broke apart in heavy seas on May 28, less than two weeks after being installed.


“I'm very pleased to announce earlier this morning in Gaza, U.S. forces successfully attached the temporary pier to the Gaza beach,” Vice Adm. Brad Cooper told reporters, including from The War Zone. “Israeli Defense Force engineers provided all the necessary support to ensure the safe and placement of the pier to the beach.”
 
U.S. Army’s floating pier returns to the shores of Gaza after breaking up.
 
Earlier this week, the Pentagon announced that the pier, and repair costs, would total $230 million, which is lower than initial estimates of $320 million.

I'm just guessing, but I'll bet Hamas needs the aid more than Gazans and will get the lion's share. :whistle:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I just read where Ukraine got $230 million in new high-tech equipment where the Jews get a worthless floating pier that will bring aid mostly to Hamas.  Something is amiss with this picture.
