How the U.S. Humanitarian Pier in Gaza Will Work
By Elena Shao, Mika Gröndahl, Anjali Singhvi and Marco Hernandez
A humanitarian pier the U.S. military will bring to the Gaza Strip is currently being assembled and is expected to be ready to receive initial shipments of food and other aid early next month, according to military officials. The effort to deliver aid to the enclave through a maritime corridor, which was announced in March, will involve an elaborate, multistep process.
A thousand American soldiers and sailors will be involved in the pier project, a senior military official said in a Pentagon call with reporters on Thursday. The pier will initially enable the transfer of about 90 truckloads of aid per day, the official said, and will eventually ramp up to 150 truckloads per day at full capacity.
U.S. authorities have said the pier is intended to supplement, not replace, existing aid deliveries over land. U.N. data indicates that land-based deliveries have risen slightly in recent weeks but still fall far short of vast need in the enclave. Dozens of Gazans have died from causes related to malnutrition and dehydration, and the United Nations’ World Food Program has said half of Gaza’s population of 2.2 million is starving.
Once aid reaches the shore, relief organizations that will distribute it within Gaza will face familiar dangers and obstacles amid ongoing Israeli bombardment.
CONOPS
Humanitarian aid containers bound for Gaza are to be delivered to Cyprus. There they will undergo security checks by Cypriot customs, Israeli and U.S. teams, and the United Nations Office for Project Services.
Once the containers are inspected, they will be loaded onto commercial vessels and taken to a large floating pier currently being built by the U.S. military.
There, they will be transferred onto trucks that in turn will be loaded onto smaller Army Logistic Support Vessels and Landing Craft Utility boats.
The Army boats will then shuttle the trucks from the pier to an 1,800-foot floating causeway, which will be several miles away and secured at the beach by Israeli Defense Forces.
The trucks will drive off the Army boats onto the causeway to a secure area on land where they will deliver the aid and immediately turn around and return.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
The best part? Since no US troops are allowed on the beach the causeway will be rammed into the shoreline by U.S. vessels, where the IDF will receive it and Hamas will doubtless attack it. Oh wait- they already have.
One of a certain mindset may consider drafting Ivy League professors and students arrested at antisemitic demonstrations to positions as Gaza Aid Truck Drivers.

1. Gaza already has an existing deep water port. Why not just fix that one?
2. Palestinian “refugees” will be using this port and imported into America to vote democrat. By the 10s of thousands.
“Gaza already has an existing deep water port.”
Where?

It technically doesn’t, but not for lack of trying by anyone except Gaza herself – I’m not sure if the Port of Gaza could be converted to a deep water port, but its activity has been considerably limited because, like most of the peace efforts of the ‘90s, the Palestinian people have refused anything in the interest of peaceful coexistence.
Construction on the much larger Gaza Seaport has been authorized and internationally agreed to (at least) twice, and both times construction was due to begin it was either immediately disrupted or preempted by Palestinian bad faith – first in response to the Second Intifada, second when Hamas took control of Gaza and undercut the AMA.
Palestinians f*cked it up for themselves already.
Brandon’s gonna power through it, though. When Hamas kills American aide workers or servicemen, he’ll blame Israel for insufficient security.
“It technically doesn’t”
“tehnically”?
Yes, technically. Construction on one was literally begun, once. Does a port get its soul at conception or when it is christened? It has a potential deep water port, a fetal port in theory. It is, technically speaking, not a viable deep water port.
They should have the “Free, Free Palestine” college crowd erect the pier, offload the supplies and personally deliver the relief. Be sure that they were “Queers For Palestine” t-shirts, that will ensure the locals see that that they are down with the struggle.
I hear they are quite popular…
Something ironic about a guy riding bitch on a motorcycle, attacking others for being gay.
Well, somebody has to hold the rope. Jus sayin.
The drag queens need to set up a USO for Hamas right there on the pier.
So, it would literally be queer at the pier?🤣
Step right up, have a beer on the pier, with a queer. Limited time only.
Ah…..Yes
I have heard about the ‘ Free All Gaza ‘ movement
The queers for Palestine should be safe as there are fewer and fewer tall buildings. Unless they are/were beaten to within a breath or 2 of their last breath, any 2 story building would be tall enough.
The Palestinians would adopt the Taliban method of pushing a wall on top of the homosexual prisoner. Plenty of walls among the rubble.
How about they throw them off a short building 10 times instead of a tall building once?
They need a bar on it, too. And maybe a couple of fishing rod holders.
Once the supplies reach land, Ham-ass will commandeer aka steal the goods and sell to the desperate civilians. Didn’t anyone see what happened in Mogadishu?
All the American public knows about Mogadishu is that a Black Hawk crashed there, and that Eric Bana’s safety is his bugger hook.
booger hook*
What does that say about Google, when autocorrect prefers buggery?
Don’t ask LTC Steele, Ret. to sign your copy of the book; he’s still just a mite bitter from the service.
Looks like it would apier to be jake after the pier finally apiers at the pier site. How come we didn’t supply aid to the bombed out German cities while fighting during WW2 and not after……
Today everything has to go under peer review by both parties.
Then the party can begin.
If the ham-ass and their people are so desperate, then why does EVERY Nation that has border with them seal it with a vengeance? Could it be the fact that they have tried to take over EVERY country that has ever taken them in?
Not fair. You aren’t allowed to reference history.
The same reason your deadbeat brother-in-law has to hit up his friends to float him a loan, as he burned all of his relatives through blood and marriage by stuffing them. Much like Psul of The Ballsack dodged paying his mother by hiding behind a bankruptcy.
Once the Jews moved in the other Arabs in the area had to back them. Because at least they weren’t Jewish. They doesn’t mean they want Palestinians living with them, they just hate Jews.
Bingo. Without Jews, the palestinians just suck.
Just wait until Pedo Joe admits 100 thou or 200 thou Gazans to the U. S. I’m sure, considering the masterful vetting job they’re doing on the the southern border that nothing will go wrong with admitting that many terrorists into Michigan,Minnesota,Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
“Humanitarian Aid” indeed, like it’s been said, Ham-ass is doing just like the Somali Warlords did back then, and the media stays silent about it.
A Double Disaster: Hatred Against the Jewish Homeland Eliminates Hope for Gazans – CBN Israel
Meanwhile, the leaders issue proclamations that every man, woman and child will fight until the last Jew is eradicated. And those proclamations are released from the 5 Star hotels they reside at in Qatar.
I think the Israelis heard about that.
Bahrain… the availability of Johnny Walker Black is better. /sarc
And here you go. But since it was published by the New York Post, 51 intelligence officials will declare it disinformation.

Some of the worst flying weather I’ve ever encountered was in the central Mediterranean, including Iceland white-out conditions. Things get really interesting at sea state 5 and above.
At what point during this whole process does Joe Biden get his 10% kickback?
And I hear Hunter, with his vast experience of eating cherries out of the navels of hookers, is available for a board position with the United Nations World Food Program.
That quick-buid pier, the ships, the folks that know how to build it, would all be very useful for defending Taiwan, yes? Or other islands near the ChiComs, yes?
All those bridge bunnies and small craft crewmen will have the honor of glorious deaths in defense of the great democrat cause against national/self defense long before they’re not needed for the great patriotic re-embrasure of Formosa.
Plus, just in… File under “No Sh*t!”: U.S. might have to contend with both Russia and China if it goes to war with one of ’em.

Is this a rhetorical question?
Who screws up more? Joey Bidet or the Arabs in Gaza?
I don’t see how the Arabs in Gaza have screwed up at all. They turned an outright and self-admitted attempt at genocide into international support against their very targets.
They always had that support. Over and over.
What they didn’t have before is the opportunity to be destroyed in detail.
If Netanyahu doesn’t blink, Hamas is going to wind up the same as the Viet Cong: sacrificed on the altar of utility by their masters, down to an unimportant and useless miniscule remainder.
Pass the popcorn. I’m betting on Israel for the win.
Hmm. Construction is expected to take a couple of months?
June 6, 1944, the sections for the “Mulberry” harbors at Normandy set sail. By June 18th the first were operational.
That was the first time anything like that had ever been done. We’ve had 80 years to refine the technique and now it takes them several months to set up a portable pier that doesn’t even include breakwaters?
Let’s just say I’m less than impressed.
Maybe it takes longer now because of the DEI hires?
You have to do your environmental impact studies as well 🙄
