The White House has said that a US-made pier made to boost aid to Gaza will become operational in a few weeks, Al Jazeera reports.

“It will take probably two to three weeks before we can really see an operation,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby said on ABC News.

Kirby said that while the pier will bring more food and other essentials into Gaza, it has limits.

“Nothing can replace the ground routes and the trucks that are getting in,” Kirby said.
