Gaza aid pier set be completed in days: Pentagon

Pentagon spokesman Major-General Pat Ryder told reporters that the $320 million pier in Gaza will be completed “in the coming days, I think you can expect to see it operational”.

The pier is aimed at boosting humanitarian access to Gaza, which has been ravaged by almost eight months of war and aid restrictions by Israel. 

Poor sea conditions, however, have made it unsafe to anchor the pier off the Gaza coast.
