The pier built by the US military to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza has not been re-anchored yet, the Pentagon said, Anadolu Agency reports.

“It was disconnected late last week. It was moved to (Israel’s Port of) Ashdod for the high sea states. The pier remains in Ashdod right now,” spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters.

“We’re still assessing when it can be re-anchored when sea states calm a bit,” Singh added.

“In terms of the distribution, you did see that some distribution did start back up over the weekend. It is going to take a few days to move some of that aid out of the marshaling area that had built up over time,” Singh said, adding the aid is slowly moving out of that marshaling area.
