JAKARTA - The US military began sending aid to Gaza via floating piers. But no soldiers came down to the land.

Trucks carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza began to move after arriving via a floating dock built by the US military, according to US Central Command (CENTCOM).

Reported by CNN, Friday, May 17, the dock was used to distribute aid from various countries to the trapped route, with all other border crossings closed.

The US, which started building a USD 320 million dock at the end of April, stressed it was a temporary measure "completely humanitarian and would involve aid commodities donated by a number of countries and humanitarian organizations."

The aid first came from abroad to Cyprus, before being taken by ship to a floating dock and loaded into a truck for distribution by land.

The goal is to send about 500 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Gaza through the pier every day, Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of the US Navy's Central Command, told a news conference.
