Inspectors General at the Pentagon and USAID have launched reviews of the mission to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza via the U.S. military's temporary pier system, which has faced operational challenges since it opened in mid-May. The aid, intended to help Gaza residents, has been sitting untouched due to a long-running dispute between the U.N. and Israel over whether aid workers can carry protective gear and radios. Approximately 12 million pounds of supplies have been in IDF custody since June 9, when the World Food Programme halted deliveries due to security concerns. The temporary pier has been moved from Gaza to Ashdod, Israel, due to bad weather and will not be reinstalled unless aid distribution resumes. U.S., U.N. and Israeli officials met Wednesday on restarting aid distribution in Gaza. Central Command has removed the temporary pier.
