“These airdrops are part of a sustained effort to get more aid into Gaza, including by expanding the flow of aid through land corridors and routes,” CENTCOM said.
People watch as the US military carries out its first aid drop over Gaza on March 2, 2024.
Biden said Friday he would “insist” that Israel allow more trucks and routes for aid into Gaza.
“Innocent lives are on the line, and children’s lives are on the line.”Other countries, including the United Arab Emirates and France, have air-dropped aid into Gaza.
But Saturday’s operation was a first for the US.
