President Biden says US is working to airdrop humanitarian aid to Gaza

President Joe Biden said Friday the U.S. would air drop humanitarian assistance into the Gaza Strip to help alleviate hunger and starving triggered by the Israel-Hamas war.

Biden, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, said “innocent people” have died in Gaza. He said the aid drops would start "in the coming days."

This humanitarian aid will be delivered by a U.S. military aircraft, according to a U.S official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

"Innocent people got caught in a terrible war unable to feed their families, and you saw the response when they tried to get aid," Biden said. "But we need to do more, and the United States will do more."
