The US military’s Gaza pier is complete and ready to receive aid. The floating pier off the coast of the Gaza Strip has been fully installed, US officials said, about two months after President Biden ordered it to be built to boost efforts to get humanitarian aid into Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war.
