Aid from the U.S. intended for Gaza civilians has been delayed due to a damaged 'floating pier' on the Mediterranean Sea. The U.S. spent $320 million on the pier, but so far, none of the aid has reached Palestinians. Efforts are underway to recover vessels that detached from the pier due to choppy seas.
