Aid arrives into Gaza via US floating pier

today20 May, 2024

Background

International humanitarian aid has begun moving ashore into Gaza after arriving via a floating pier in the sea built by the US military. The operation sees ships carry aid from the Mediterranean island of Cyprus to a dock, then transferred on boats to a port and onto lorries for distribution. It was supposed to be functioning earlier this month, but construction was hampered with logistical, weather and security challenges. Reporting for us is Benji Hyer.
