Kirby: Gaza aid airdrops part of 'sustained effort' to boost humanitarian assistance

President Joe Biden approved plans for multiple airdrops of aid into Gaza on Friday, following weeks, if not months, of comments from U.S. officials about the need for more humanitarian aid.

The first U.S. airdrop will happen in the “coming days,” according to National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, who noted, “It will be part of a larger longer sustained effort to increase the flow of humanitarian assistance.”
