<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidReuZqROdNn38" />The United States (US) military is preparing to&nbsp;temporarily remove its humanitarian pier Trident&nbsp;off the coast of Gaza&nbsp;due to anticipated&nbsp;sea conditions, the news agency Reuters reported early Saturday (June 15) citing an official. The US military's pier had just resumed bringing humanitarian aid into the enclave after being suspended over the weekend.</p>

<p>The official, who chose to remain anonymous, told Reuters&nbsp;that the pier would likely be moved to the Israeli port of Ashdod until sea conditions improve.</p>

<p>Aid had begun&nbsp;arriving via the pier on May 17, and the United Nations (UN) said&nbsp;it transported 137 trucks of aid to warehouses, some 900 metric tons before the US&nbsp;announced on May 28 that it had suspended operations so repairs could be made.</p>
