The US military’s on-again, off-again floating pier in Gaza is expected to resume operations on Thursday to unload sorely needed humanitarian aid for Palestinians, two US officials tell Reuters.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the pier had been re-attached to the shore after being temporarily removed last Friday due to poor sea conditions.
The US military estimates the pier will cost more than $200 million for the first 90 days and involve about 1,000 service members.
It is unclear how much longer it will be operational.
