The Defense Department IG will look specifically at the “effectiveness of DoD’s efforts to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza through the maritime corridor,” a press release on Thursday, announcing the effort, said.
The pier — called the Joint Logistics Over The Shore, or JLOTS — was first established on the Gaza coast in May.
WFP has had their distribution of aid from the pier paused for more than two weeks as they assess the security situation on the ground.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Gaza has only grown more dire as the war between Israel and Hamas continues.
“Given this, the DoD OIG and USAID OIG are working together to address the challenges associated with this mission.
