That was the point of the temporary dock. Still didn't do much when the IDF controls all entry points except the one overhead, though, and refugees aren't living right next to the dock.
Perhaps a UN task force could be assembled to militarily escort aid trucks through IDF checkpoints by force, if necessary, since diplomacy doesn't seem to be working.
No, that wasn't the point of the temporary dock.
What do you think it was for? Oil exploration?
edit: I'll note that for oil exploration, there is a huge port facility just an hours drive north at this big city called Tel Aviv which would be much more efficient.
The pier was there to support a rescue operation by Israel. It was up for a whopping 20 days. And when it was active it didn't bring much aid in.
What rescue operation required a multi-million dollar pier to be set up? Usually armored ground vehicles and/or helicopters work just fine for those.
