US Military Set To Begin Humanitarian Airdrop Campaign In Gaza

The U.S. military is set to begin airdropping humanitarian supplies into Gaza in the coming days, President Joe Biden announced Friday, according to reports.

Biden said the current flow of aid into Gaza is insufficient to remediate the worsening crisis as Palestinians struggle to access food, water and medical supplies while Israel fights against the Hamas terrorist organization embedded in Gaza, according to Axios. However, administration officials acknowledge that Pentagon-orchestrated humanitarian airdrops likely will not do much to change the situation, the WSJ reported.

“We are going to join with our friends from Jordan and others to provide airdrops of supplies into Ukraine,” Biden said in the Oval Office before clarifying that he meant to say Gaza, according to pool reports.
