U.S. President Joe Biden, following UN warnings that the people of Gaza are on the brink of famine, admitted that the amount of aid that reaches Gaza is not enough, and at the same time claimed that the U.S. would take “any action” to increase it. will give. Biden claimed that these actions include providing aid to Gaza in the form of air.

“Delivering humanitarian aid by air is even more complicated than military operations,” White House Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said on Friday. This mission is difficult to accomplish because many conditions must be true. This will be a continuous effort and will not be limited to one time. The biggest risk is making sure people on the ground are not harmed.

Kirbi added: This operation is not like relief operations in a natural disaster such as a hurricane or an earthquake. Gaza is a war zone; So there are more risks for pilots.
