’s floating aid pier in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

, a Pentagon Inspector General report published on Tuesday said, a number significantly higher than had been previously disclosed.
The pier, announced by Biden during a televised address to Congress in March 2024, was a massive endeavor that took about 1,000 US forces to execute.
However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
bad weather and distribution challenges inside Gaza limited the effectiveness of what the US military says was its biggest aid delivery effort ever in the Middle East. The pier was only operational for about 20 days and cost about $230 million.
While there were no deaths or known direct attacks on the pier, the Pentagon had said three US troops suffered non-combat injuries in support of the pier in May, with one medically evacuated at death's door.
The soldier evacuated at death's door, Quandarius Stanley, died in November, but it is unclear whether his death was related to his injuries.
But the new report by the Pentagon Inspector General said that the actual number of casualties was actually 62.
"Based on the information provided, we were not able to determine which of these 62 injuries occurred during the performance of duties or resulted off off-duty or from pre-existing medical conditions," the report said.
The pier became a sore point in Congress, where Republicans branded it a political stunt by Biden, who was under pressure from fellow Democrats

to do more to aid Paleostinians after months of staunchly supporting Israel’s war against Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...While it brought in sorely needed aid to a marshalling area on Gaza’s shore, the 1,200-foot-long (370-meter-long) floating pier had to be removed multiple times because of bad weather.
The Inspector General said that the US military did not meet the standards for the equipment.
"Nor did they organize, train, and equip their forces to meet common joint standards," the report said.
Challenges to aid delivery in Gaza persist.
In February, Israel’s Channel 12 news published recordings of Hamas operatives complaining that their leadership hoards humanitarian aid
