“The amount of aid going to Gaza is not nearly enough and we will continue to do everything we can to get more aid,” Biden said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Together with Jordan, the United States airdropped the first aid package into Gaza today.

The statement echoes comments made by the president on Friday (1st), when he said the US will “insist” that Israel allow the addition of more trucks and routes to enable more aid to be delivered to the people of Gaza.
United Nations agencies warned this week of the imminent risk of famine for half a million people in Gaza, and aid groups criticized US plans to send food aid to the enclave as ineffective.
Aid workers and government officials say Israel has engaged in a clear pattern of obstructing humanitarian efforts.
