The €298 million US pier will be located 5km off the Gaza coast. Small boats will take aid to a US-built floating causeway connected to the shore. Trucks will load and land cargo which will be collected by humanitarian organisations and distributed.Northern Lights expected to be visible across Ireland tonight amid intense solar storm
