Humanitarian Aid, Gaza pier

Pieces of the $320 million dollar US pier for Gaza washes up on Tel Aviv beach

Sections of US built Gaza Aid Dock have been found on Tel Aviv Shores. The parts were collected by municipal workers to be given in to Israeli police and IDF for inspection.

The highly promoted Gaza aid dock from the Biden administration is turning out to be a costly failure.

Visitors at Frishman Beach in Tel Aviv stumbled upon metal plates with engravings from the temporary pier, which were made by a company in Louisiana as indicated by the U.S. patent numbers. According to Channel 12 News, the civic inspectors gathered the scraps and later handed them over to the Israel Police and IDF, discovering they belonged to the US aid pier build for Gaza.

Biden's supposed purpose for the humanitarian pier was to streamline the delivery of aid without having to coordinate with Hamas. Yet, Gaza's aid pier has only managed to operate at full capacity for a total of 12 days due to problems such as mechanical failures, security breaches, harsh weather, and logistical challenges since it was launched in May.

During that short period, only 4,100 tons of food and aid were effectively delivered, which is fewer than half of the usual amount that passed through land routes before the Gaza war.

Instead of actually helping Arabs suffering under Hamas control, the White House seems more concerned with how it looks while providing aid, as most humanitarian supplies are still sitting on the beach due to security issues with much of the food packages going out of date over that time.

The project ended up costing almost twice as much as originally planned, reaching $320 million, after involving more than 1,000 American troops and naval assets in its difficult construction in a region affected by war.

The pier was later removed and moved to Ashdod earlier this month with discussions to possibly dismantle it earlier than planned due to multiple failed attempts to smoothly run the aid operation.

According to JNS reports, During the initial week after the pier was put into use, around 75% of the humanitarian aid delivered from the port was stolen by unidentified Palestinian individuals while on its way to a U.N. storage facility.
