The United States plans to re-anchor its temporary aid pier offshore Gaza by the end of the week, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh announced during a press briefing on Wednesday.
The US Defense Department's spokesperson added that the expected cost of the project has been lowered from $320 million to $230 million. "While assessments are ongoing, this estimate does include some of the costs associated with the repairs and rebuilding of the pier," Singh stated.
The US previously removed the Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore initiative "for repair and rebuilding" after being damaged by adverse weather conditions.
