US says Gaza's floating aid pier to shut down soon
The US says the floating pier designed to increase the amount of aid getting into the Gaza Strip will “soon cease operations”, less than two months after it was installed.
The announcement came after the US military were unable to re-anchor the pier this week because of “technical and weather-related issues”. It had to be removed on 28 June because of bad weather. A Pentagon spokesman said more than 8,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid had been delivered from the pier while it was in operation. He also stressed that it had always been intended as a temporary solution. US officials suggested it would remain in place until August or September, when changing sea states in the Mediterranean might make it impossible to maintain. In fact, the weather proved challenging almost as soon after it started operating on 17 May. For a flagship scheme first announced by President Joe Biden in his State of the Union address in March, the JLOTS (Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore) has had a brief, chequered history. Following stormy weather in late May, four small landing craft involved in the operation broke loose and were washed ashore. Days later, parts of the pier were removed and taken to the Israeli port of Ashdod for repairs.
