Axios: US weighing option of air dropping aid into Gaza

The White House is looking at options for air-dropping aid into Gaza using military planes, Axiost reported, citing several US officials.

"The situation is really bad. We are unable to get enough aid [in] by truck so we need desperate measures like airdrops," one US official told Axios.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is growing increasingly dire each day, with humanitarian aid not reaching many parts of the enclave. Jordan and Egypt have already conducted air drops this week.

Rights groups have accused Israel of blocking aid to Israel, violating orders from the International Court of Justice.

Several children have already died from starvation and malnutrition in the besieged enclave.
