New satellite imagery shows the extent of damage to the $320 million temporary humanitarian pier in Gaza after it was broken apart by rough seas less than two weeks after becoming operational.The images below, provided by Maxar, show the pier's condition on May 26 compared to three days later. Less than a third of the pier remains intact, with no remnants of the deeper sections visible.
The floating pier and its causeway, known as the Trident section, were anchored to the Gaza shore just north of the Netzarim corridor on May 10.Just as the dock became operational a week later, reports emerged of a section breaking off, causing a temporary suspension of its use. One day later, eleven trucks were intercepted by desperate Gazans, and only five made it to the World Food Program warehouse, causing the operation to be temporarily halted again.
