Hamas Ministry of Health announced Tuesday the deaths of 18 people, linked to the airdrops of food packages into Gaza. The United States "will continue" to drop humanitarian aid on Gaza, a spokesperson for the White House National Security Council said Tuesday.
Hamas called for an end to airdrop operations and to open land access to humanitarian aid, strictly controlled by Israel. Despite Monday's vote on a UN Security Council resolution calling for an "immediate" ceasefire, the war still rages in the narrow strip of land controlled by Hamas.
