Supposedly going to be ready next week.
Worries me a little that article didn't talk about who was going to be delivering the food. Pretty sad if whoever didn't have supply ships lined up ready to go.
Images show US military building floating pier for Gaza aid
Quote:
The US military has published photos showing a floating pier being built in the Mediterranean Sea to help increase humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza.
Logistics vessels and personnel can be seen assembling the pier from steel segments, next to a US Navy ship.
Costing about $320m (£255m), the pier and a causeway attached to the shore should be operational in a week.

"Right now, you're seeing construction of that floating, temporary pier, and then, you'll start to see construction of the causeway," US defence department spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters in Washington on Monday.
"Eventually, that causeway will be... pushed into the coastline and secured by the [Israel Defense Forces]," she added.
The pier will be ready a week from now, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday.
