The controversial US effort to boost Gaza aid deliveries by building a temporary pier has faced repeated problems, with bad weather damaging the structure and causing other interruptions to the arrival of desperately needed assistance.

The pier attached to the Gaza Strip reopened Thursday in an effort to streamline humanitarian aid to Palestinians, U.S. officials said.

The U.S. military's floating pier off Gaza has resumed bringing humanitarian aid into the Israeli-besieged Palestinian territory, the Pentagon said on Thursday, even as aid continues to collect in a nearby marshalling area since the United Nations has not restarted transporting it to warehouses.

The US military’s temporary pier has been re-anchored to the Gaza coast, two US officials told CNN, several days after it was dismantled for a second time due to high seas and weather conditions.

The floating pier built by the US to bring humanitarian aid into Gaza amid the Israeli war on Gaza could be dismantled earlier than planned.

The U.S. military's on-again, off-again floating pier in Gaza is expected to resume operations on Thursday to unload sorely needed humanitarian aid for Palestinians, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Wednesday.

The U.S. military is expected to reopen a pier anchored to Gaza this week after rough weather has twice taken offline a system intended to deliver aid to the area. Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters the U.

The Defense Department said Tuesday that the Gaza pier built by the United States and damaged by high seas is expected to be back in place this week.
