The United Nations stopped its deliveries from the pier in early June after the Israeli military used the area during a rescue operation which freed four hostages. 270 Palestinians were killed in the operation, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The pier, which the U.S. said would always be temporary, cost $230 million and was announced by President Biden during his State of the Union speech in March.
