ALBAWABA - As the number of casualties and hunger in the Palestinian territory rises, President Joe Biden recently announced that the United States will begin sending food aid to Gaza by air.
Speaking from the White House, Biden stressed how little relief is getting into Gaza and promised that his administration would do all in its power to make sure more aid gets to the area.
Washington is actively working to reach a quick cease-fire agreement so that more supplies can reach the Gaza Strip. According to Wall Street Journal reports, the Pentagon is preparing to launch an airborne assault in the coming days to drop humanitarian supplies over Gaza.
This decision was made in the wake of a terrible occurrence in which Palestinians were waiting to receive supplies at the Nablus junction in northern Gaza when the Israeli army launched a deadly bombardment on them.
More than a hundred Palestinian lives were lost in the atrocity, which sparked outrage throughout the world and requests for an inquiry into what happened.
Meanwhile, dissatisfaction with President Biden's handling of the civilian deaths caused by the Israeli army in northern Gaza has emerged within the US government.
Similar to other countries, Canada is apparently thinking about participating in the initiative by thinking about dropping humanitarian supplies over Gaza, according to remarks made by Minister of International Development Ahmed Hussen.
Several aircraft relief operations over Gaza have already been carried out by Jordan and a number of other countries, notably France.
The UN has issued serious warnings, stating that the region is on the verge of famine; sadly, Gaza's government and the Hamas organization have verified that at least 13 Palestinian children have died as a result of hunger.
