Does Gaza even want that "aid pier"?
Gaza wants aid. Famine is setting in. But this is mostly theatre.
Road crossings could deliver a lot more aid a lot faster. The US plan for this pier is to gradually ramp up to 150 truckloads a day. For reference Gaza needed 200 truckloads a day in peacetime. That was back when people could still work, before all the housing and infrastructure got destroyed.
The aid pier has Israeli positions on both sides of the port meaning it can be subject to the same IDF chokeholds as the road crossings.
