UN begins moving tonnes of aid from US-built pier in Gaza

Humanitarian workers have started moving tonnes of aid that had been piled up at a US-built pier off the Gaza coast to warehouses in the besieged territory, the United Nations said.

The move is an important step as the US considers whether to resume pier operations after yet another pause due to heavy seas.

It was not clear when the aid might reach Palestinians in Gaza, where experts have warned of the high risk of famine as the war between Israel and Hamas militants is in its ninth month.
