U.S. Military News

The Pentagon said Tuesday the U.S. has finished building a temporary pier for delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh said during Tuesday's briefing the Trident section of the pier, an 1,800-foot causeway of modular sections linked together, was completed as part of the U.S. military Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore mission. Last week, the floating pier section was completed.

Singh said sea conditions, which prompted a pause in construction Friday by U.S. Central Command , are not conducive yet to connect the pier to the mainland. Singh said as CENTCOM stands by to move the pier in position, humanitarian aid will be loaded onto the MV Sagamore cargo ship, which is anchored in Cyprus.
