US drops food over Gaza Strip. The humanitarian situation of the people in Gaza has been deteriorating dramatically for weeks.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing ahead with the ground offensive in Gaza despite ongoing negotiations for a ceasefire. The food or medicine dropped brings some relief from the need, especially in areas that are difficult or impossible to reach by land with aid deliveries. The US government is now also considering deliveries by sea. However, they emphasized that neither air nor sea aid is an alternative to the need to transport aid via as many land crossings as possible.
