"Biden Authorizes Airdrops of Aid into Gaza Amid Middle East Crisis"
President Biden announced that the U.S. will airdrop humanitarian relief supplies into Gaza following a deadly incident surrounding an aid convoy. The Israeli military and Gazan officials offered divergent accounts of the incident, with Gazan health officials reporting over 100 Palestinians killed and more than 700 injured. World leaders intensified demands on Israel to provide more aid and answers about the deaths, while condemnations poured in from various governments and organizations. The number of aid trucks entering Gaza declined sharply in February, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Israeli military videos provided a limited view of the deadly scene, adding to the confusion.
