Your Tax Dollars @ Work - A section of the $320 million floating pier built and erected off Gaza's coast has broken off and floated onto an Israeli beach. The Saturday mishap is the latest setback for the US humanitarian aid project, after three US troops were reported injured aboard the pier two days prior, including one critically.
The Times of Isreal's military correspondent Emanuel Fabian has reported that "An American vessel used to unload humanitarian aid from ships into the Gaza Strip via a floating pier disconnected from a small boat tugging it this morning due to stormy seas, leading it to get stuck on the coast of Ashdod, eyewitnesses say."
The United States floating dock north of the Netzarim corridor, Gaza, partially collapsed and drifted into the Mediterranean Sea before stranding on the coast of Ashdod. The pier, which was not functional according to the UN, was used as a pretext for the influx of humanitarian aid, but US military equipment was found there as experts predicted. Why the floating pier built while now Pentagon itself doubts the arrival of aid to the pier sent to Gazan.
