US President Joe Biden has announced that the US military will airdrop humanitarian supplies into Gaza amidst negotiations between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire in exchange for the return of Israeli hostages.
In a statement delivered at the White House, Biden said: “The truth is, aid flowing into Gaza is nowhere nearly enough now. It’s nowhere nearly enough. Innocent lives are on the line and children’s lives are on the line.”
“We should be getting hundreds of trucks in, not just several.”
Speaking alongside the Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, he said: “We’re going to pull out every stop we can” to deliver aid, but according to Politico misspoke several times and referred to Gaza as ‘Ukraine.”
