President Joe Biden has said that the United States would start to deliver relief supplies from the air into Gaza, a day after the deaths of more than 100 Palestinians at an aid convoy, AFP reports.
“We need to do more, and the United States will do more,” Biden told reporters at the White House at the start of a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
“In the coming days we’re going to join with our friends in Jordan and others in providing air drops of additional food and supplies,” the 81-year-old Biden said in the Oval Office.
Biden has pushed Israel to reduce civilian casualties and allow aid in, while at the same time, he has maintained military assistance for the key US ally.
