President Biden announced Friday that the US will begin air-dropping food aid to the people of Gaza, saying that land aid was not getting into Gaza fast enough. With millions of Palestinians at risk of starvation, this is good news.
Speaking in the Oval Office, Biden said the US would be “pulling out every stop” to get additional aid into Gaza, and that he was working to effect a ceasefire that would allow more aid into Gaza.
Still, this is not a long-term solution since air-dropping food and necessities is not as much aid as can be provided by trucks.
