Additionally, the Pentagon said the temporary humanitarian aid pier that was moved to Ashdod, Israel due to high seas should be anchored back to Gaza in the Mediterranean Sea this week so that it can again be used to transport humanitarian aid into Gaza.
The Pentagon released a statement that said, "The pier was anchored to the Gaza shore on May 16 and since then, due to weather, has experienced both damage and temporary shutdowns".
