The Biden administration is considering dropping aid into Gaza from US military planes amid fears of famine in the Strip. "The situation is bad.
We are not able to get enough aid trucks in," said an American official. The officials admitted that the aid drop would have a limited effect, compared to bringing in aid trucks by land. The amount of supplies that an airplane can carry is relatively small and the same as that of a truck or two aid trucks entering by land, they said. A senior American said that for a long time there was great skepticism within the administration regarding the idea of airdropping aid.
