US says it re-established temporary pier in Gaza

The US said it re-established the temporary aid pier in Gaza after it was forced to halt operations due to bad weather damage last month.

Central Command confirmed earlier reports in Israeli media that the pier was expected to resume aid deliveries later on Friday.

"In coming days, CENTCOM will facilitate the movement of vital food and other emergency supplies, in support of the US Agency for International Development," it said in a statement.
