Gaza sea aid route from Cyprus functional, will be kept offshore till pier fixed, says official

The US military announced earlier in the week that a purpose-built jetty it anchored off Gaza’s coast to receive aid by sea was being temporarily removed after a part of the structure broke off, two weeks after it started operating.
