The US military's pier built to deliver aid to Gaza has been removed due to adverse weather conditions, raising concerns about the resumption of its operations.

While the pier has facilitated over 19.4 million pounds of food into Gaza, logistical challenges and security issues have hindered its distribution.

The majority of the aid remains in storage yards, and the decision to reinstall the pier depends on whether aid distribution efforts can be effectively resumed.

Sabrina Singh, a Pentagon spokeswoman, acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the pier's reinstallation and emphasized the ongoing need for aid to reach Gaza by all means necessary.

The UN has paused aid delivery citing safety concerns for workers following recent Israeli military actions near the pier, highlighting the complexities of the ongoing humanitarian effort.
