US soldier, 23, injured on Gaza pier in May dies: report

A US soldier who was injured while delivering aid to Gaza on President Biden’s failed floating pier in the spring died from his injuries on Thursday, CNN reported Monday.

Sgt. Quandarius Davon Stanley, 23, was one of three US service members hurt May 23 while working on the temporary floating pier that Biden had announced with great fanfare during his State of the Union address in March.

The other two service members suffered minor injuries and returned to work after the incident, which the Pentagon has said was not combat related.

Stanley, who was critically injured, had been undergoing longterm medical care. An obituary for the young soldier described him as a native of Columbia, SC.
