US begins building pier off Gaza to boost aid delivery

The US military has started building a large floating pier off Gaza's coast to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid.
 
Ships will deliver aid from Cyprus to the pier where it will be loaded onto trucks to transfer across Gaza.
 
The pier will be attached to the shore by a temporary causeway, which the trucks will use.
 
US officials say the pier will be operational by early May but there will be no US boots on the ground in Gaza.
 
The plan was first announced by President Joe Biden in March as part of efforts to tackle hunger in Gaza.
