The Gaza maritime aid pier
When land crossings were shut, a US-backed pier tried delivering aid by sea. Here is how it fit beside the other routes Israel kept open.
The Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore pier off Gaza was a US-backed sea route, used when fire and other closures hit the land crossings. Weather and security problems disrupted it. It was one more route Israel allowed.
Airdrops and additional land crossings ran alongside it. COGAT’s records list the trucks together with these other routes. Anyone who says aid was blocked should start there.
The soldiers in Naza: The Real Story are not sailors. They describe the night a crossing closes and a sea route becomes the next option.
