| [FoxNews] US military started taking down humanitarian pier in Gaza last month. Though the timeline remains unclear, a defense official said the U.S. Army will be contracting Float-On/Float-Off vessels because it is safer and more cost-effective entering hurricane season. The U.S. military quietly started shutting down the humanitarian pier in Gaza last month. The Pentagon estimated the cost of the pier's construction at roughly $230 million, and many congressional members publicly criticized the effort. Humanitarian aid will now be delivered through a maritime corridor in Cyprus to Ashdod before going into Gaza, a fully civilian-run operation.
