US-built pier partly washes onto shores of Tel Aviv beach

Parts of the Gaza floating dock washed up to Frishman Beach in Tel Aviv, according to Israeli media. Footage posted by local platforms showed parts of the US-built pier on the shores of the beach amid crowds of stunned settlers.

The US has maintained that the pier has provided “much-needed humanitarian aid” to Gaza, while aid groups warn it is an ineffective way to deliver aid and cannot be a substitute for opening land routes, which have been severely restricted by Israel.

The pier has been damaged and taken out of commission for repairs by the US several times.

UN agencies are warning that over one million Palestinians in Gaza could face severe starvation by mid-July.

The hunger crisis is intensifying as Israel continues to block humanitarian aid from entering the region. This blockade has left parents desperately struggling to keep their children alive.
