The US military began their first drops of food and supplies into the Gaza Strip amid Israel's ongoing military operations to purge Palestine of Hamas influence.

While the situation in the Gaza Strip certainly is a humanitarian crisis for those trapped in the fighting, the airdrops are being carried out as election year damage control for the Biden Administration, as many Biden voters support Palestine over Israel.

The drops reportedly contained military MREs (meals ready to eat) rations. The US military claimed they will continue aid drops, and it's likely that future aid drops will contain water and medicine as well as food.
