First Convoy of Aid Trucks Cross into Gaza via New U.S.-Built Floating Pier
(AP-Washington Post) Lolita C. Baldor - Trucks carrying aid for Gaza rolled across a newly built U.S. pier for the first time Friday. At the White House, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said "more than 300 pallets" of aid were in the initial delivery and handed over to the UN, which was preparing it for distribution. The aid for the sea route is collected and inspected in Cyprus, then loaded onto ships and taken 200 miles to the large floating pier off the Gaza coast, which is connected to a floating causeway anchored to the beach.
