How the U.S. Humanitarian Pier in Gaza Will Work<\/h3>\n

By Elena Shao, Mika Gr\u00f6ndahl, Anjali Singhvi and Marco Hernandez<\/strong><\/p>\n

A humanitarian pier the U.S. military will bring to the Gaza Strip is currently being assembled and is expected to be ready to receive initial shipments of food and other aid early next month, according to military officials. The effort to deliver aid to the enclave through a maritime corridor, which was announced in March, will involve an elaborate, multistep process.<\/p>\n

A thousand American soldiers and sailors will be involved in the pier project, a senior military official said in a Pentagon call with reporters on Thursday. The pier will initially enable the transfer of about 90 truckloads of aid per day, the official said, and will eventually ramp up to 150 truckloads per day at full capacity.<\/p>\n

U.S. authorities have said the pier is intended to supplement, not replace, existing aid deliveries over land. U.N. data indicates that land-based deliveries have risen slightly in recent weeks but still fall far short of vast need in the enclave. Dozens of Gazans have died from causes related to malnutrition and dehydration, and the United Nations\u2019 World Food Program has said half of Gaza\u2019s population of 2.2 million is starving.<\/p>\n

Once aid reaches the shore, relief organizations that will distribute it within Gaza will face familiar dangers and obstacles amid ongoing Israeli bombardment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Humanitarian aid containers bound for Gaza are to be delivered to Cyprus. There they will undergo security checks by Cypriot customs, Israeli and U.S. teams, and the United Nations Office for Project Services.<\/p>\n

Once the containers are inspected, they will be loaded onto commercial vessels and taken to a large floating pier currently being built by the U.S. military.<\/p>\n

There, they will be transferred onto trucks that in turn will be loaded onto smaller Army Logistic Support Vessels and Landing Craft Utility boats.<\/p>\n

The Army boats will then shuttle the trucks from the pier to an 1,800-foot floating causeway, which will be several miles away and secured at the beach by Israeli Defense Forces.<\/p>\n

The trucks will drive off the Army boats onto the causeway to a secure area on land where they will deliver the aid and immediately turn around and return.<\/p>\n

Wash, rinse, repeat.<\/p>\n

The best part? Since no US troops are allowed on the beach the causeway will be rammed into the shoreline by U.S. vessels, where the IDF will receive it and Hamas will doubtless attack it. Oh wait- they already have.<\/p>\n
