Humanitarian aid entering Gaza by sea via a US- built pier will resume in the coming days, the Israeli military has said, after repairs to the structure were completed, Reuters reports.

“The IDF (Israel Defence Forces) has begun securing the coastal area of the US military’s Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore (JLOTS) capability — in Gaza. The pier’s re-establishment will allow for the continued delivery of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza in the coming days,” the Israeli military said.

The US Central Command said on Friday it had re-established the temporary pier anchored off Gaza’s coast, which had been temporarily removed after part of the structure broke off, two weeks after it started operating.
