None of the aid that has passed through the pier built by the United States in Gaza has been distributed to Palestinians yet, the Pentagon said Tuesday.
According to Gen. Patrick S. Ryder, a spokesperson for the Department of Defense, 569 metric tons of aid from many countries had made it across the temporary pier and there is “more aid on the way.”
Ryder said the aid is in Gaza for humanitarian partners to distribute.
President Biden announced the floating pier in his State of the Union address in March.
