Washington. The President of the United States, Joe Biden, signed into law this Wednesday that includes humanitarian aid for Gaza and asked Israel to ensure that it “reaches the Palestinians” in this territory without delay.
“We are going to immediately guarantee that aid and get it there,” including “food, medical supplies, drinking water,” Biden said in a press conference in which he stated that the population of Gaza “suffers cruelly.”
“Israel must ensure that all this aid reaches the Palestinians in Gaza without delay,” said the president, after signing a bill for vast military aid for Israel and Ukraine, which also included $1 billion in humanitarian aid for the Palestinian enclave.
“This bill significantly, significantly increases the humanitarian assistance we are sending to the innocent people of Gaza who are suffering greatly,” Biden said. “They are suffering the consequences of this war that Hamas started,” she added.
Relations between the United States and Israel have been strained by the Israeli government’s conduct in the war in Gaza and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to send troops to the southern Gaza city of Rafah, where 1.5 million refugees are sheltered. people.
