Joe Biden, US President, announced the air launch humanitarian aid with food and medicine packages on the Strip A loop.
In addition, this opened up the possibility of opening a sea corridor to facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid into the enclave.
“The aid coming to Gaza is not enough. The lives of innocent people are at stake. “Children’s lives are at stake,” Biden said as he began a White House meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
Biden confuses Gaza with Ukraine
However, during his statement, Biden got confused and mentioned Ukraine when he was referring to the Gaza Strip.
“In the coming days, we will join our friends in Jordan and other countries to airlift food and supplies to Ukraine.
“We will strive to open other routes to Ukraine, including the possibility of a sea corridor for the delivery of large volumes of food,” he said.
Biden vows to insist that Israel allow aid to Gaza
The American president promised that he would insist that Israel also facilitate the entry of more trucks and the opening of new land routes to deliver humanitarian aid to the enclave.
“There should be hundreds of trucks there, not just a few. I won’t stay put. “We’re trying to do everything we can to get more help,” he said.
Likewise, Biden expressed hope that an agreement would be reached “soon” on a six-week ceasefire in the Israeli offensive on Gaza, that aid would be allowed into the entire Gaza Strip and that hostages would be released.
More than 30,200 people have died in the Gaza Strip in nearly five months of war, including 115 Gazans killed Thursday in a chaotic incident during a food distribution in Gaza City that Israel admitted to shooting.
However, the number of casualties is justified by an avalanche caused by a hungry crowd rushing onto the trucks. (EFE)
