The United States will continue supplying humanitarian relief from the air into the Gaza Strip, the White House has said, despite Palestinians dying – by drowning, stampedes and falling aid boxes – while trying to reach the aid.
“Airdrops are one of the many ways that we are helping to provide desperately needed aid to Palestinians in Gaza, and we will continue to do so,” a spokesperson for the National Security Council told reporters, after 18 Palestinians died, 12 of them by drowning, while trying to recover dropped food supplies.
