U.S.-built $230 million floating pier in Gaza to shut down after two months

07/14/2024 // Laura Harris

The $230 million floating pier built by the United States to provide humanitarian aid to starving Palestinians in Gaza is shutting down after just two months of barely being operable, with the White House claiming that the U.S. Navy is having trouble distributing relief goods due to looting and inclement weather.

During the State of the Union address back in March, President Joe Biden announced the pier construction to "enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza every day." But the floating pier, first anchored on May 17, has faced significant obstacles from the start.

Starving and desperate Palestinians reportedly hijacked the first convoys of aid in May, while adverse weather conditions have frequently disrupted operations, sometimes detaching the pier from the shore and beaching vessels associated with the effort. At least three of the 1,000 troops involved in the operation had been injured due to these challenges. (Related: U.S. Navy vessels attached to floating pier off Gaza coast dislodged by storm, grounded on nearby beaches.)

The floating pier, initially scheduled to remain operational until at least July 31, had been relocated to Ashdod Port in Israel thrice due to adverse weather conditions, most recently on June 28. And now, it is scheduled to be reattached to Gaza on July 17 and shut down a few days later. As a result, it has only been operational for 23 out of the 53 days since May.

These challenges have led to the decision to shut it down before the end of July.

"I do anticipate that in relatively short order, we will wind down pier operations," national security adviser Jake Sullivan announced during the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Public Forum in Washington on July 11.

Sullivan suggested that the floating pier is no longer essential for Gaza's supply of food, water and other humanitarian aid due to the re- opening of key border crossings amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

"The real issue right now is not about getting aid into Gaza. It's about getting aid around Gaza," Sullivan added.

No fooling. But the "bridge to nowhere" in Alaska was a drop in the bucket compared to this. ;)

But would they work as good as the pier? 23 days out of 53 days sounds like Joetato's work time, vs vacation time ratio. Work 23 days off 53 days. I use the word work lightly.
