With U.S. soldiers within shouting distance of Gaza's bombed-out coast, the American military is taking another stab at delivering aid to hungry Palestinians by sea.
After several fits and starts, a $230 million pier is up and running again. The U.S. military invited reporters for a tour of it on Tuesday, marking the first time international media has witnessed its operations firsthand.
International journalists have not been allowed to enter Gaza independently since the Israel-Hamas war began Oct. 7.
The project, which first launched in mid-May, resumed operations last week after a recent pause due to rough seas.
