"US Military Airdrops Humanitarian Aid into Gaza Amid Israel-Hamas War"
TL;DR Summary
US military C-130 cargo planes conducted an emergency humanitarian aid operation by airdropping 38,000 meals into Gaza following the deaths of over 100 Palestinians during a chaotic encounter with Israeli troops while trying to access aid. The airdrop, authorized by President Joe Biden, is the first of many planned to address the dire situation in Gaza, coordinated with Jordan. The airdrops are seen as a supplement to ground transport, with the C-130's ability to quickly deliver aid to remote locations being advantageous. Israel has barred entry of supplies into Gaza, and the United Nations warns that a quarter of Gaza's population faces starvation.
