U.S. officials say the pier may not be reinstalled unless the agencies reach an agreement to begin distributing the aid again. The aid shipped from Cyprus is piling up ashore, and soon the secure area on the Gaza beach will reach capacity.<\/p>\n<h3>US removes Gaza aid pier again due to weather and may not reinstall it<\/h3>\n<p><strong>By Tara Copp, AP and Lolita C. Baldor, The Associated Press<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The pier built by the U.S. military to bring aid to Gaza has been removed due to weather to protect it, and the U.S. is considering not reinstalling it unless the aid begins flowing out into the population again, U.S. officials said Friday.<\/p>\n<p>While the military has helped deliver desperately needed food through the pier, the vast majority of it is still sitting in the adjacent storage yard and that area is almost full. Aid agencies have had difficulty moving the food to areas further into Gaza where it is most needed because the humanitarian convoys have come under attack.<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations, which has the widest reach in delivering aid to starving Palestinians, ceased distributing food and other emergency supplies arriving through the pier on 9 June. The halt came after the Israeli military used an area near the pier to fly out rescued hostages after their raid that, prompting a U.N. security review over concerns that aid workers\u2019 safety and neutrality may have compromised.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2024\/06\/30\/us-removes-gaza-aid-pier-again-due-to-weather-and-may-not-reinstall-it\/\">Military Times<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t this a MK-1, Mod 0 Cluster Foxtrot. The UN aid distribution agencies won&#8217;t deliver aid because Israel rescued kidnapped citizens held by Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>But wait there&#8217;s more: Pentagon spox Sabrina Singh acknowledged that she doesn\u2019t know when the pier will be reinstalled.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen the commander decides that it is the right time to reinstall that pier, we\u2019ll keep you updated on that,\u201d she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She also stated that there is a need for more aid to come into Cyprus and be transported to the pier. She noted that the secure area onshore is \u201cpretty close to full,\u201d but the intention is still to get aid into Gaza by all means necessary. This supposes there is indeed a pier in place and the UN humanitarian aid providers will actually move the aid to distribution centers. This is Biden Foreign Policy in a nutshell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bridge to Nowhere UN aid groups ceased distribution of humanitarian supplies that arrived via the pier &hellip; <a title=\"Hamas Pier Follies Continue\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=158402\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Hamas Pier Follies Continue<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[518,692,466,652],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-158402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-biden","category-gaza-2023","category-israel","category-the-stupid-is-strong"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=158402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158402\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=158402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=158402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=158402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
