President Biden said that the U.S. will work with Israel, the U.N. and countries neighboring the Jewish state to ease humanitarian issues following the first Israeli-led ground raids in Gaza.
Mr. Biden has said that the U.S. was ready to provide Israel with “all appropriate means of support” in combating the terrorist organization Hamas. However, U.N. and international officials have warned of a mounting humanitarian crisis in Gaza while Israel continues to pummel the Gaza Strip with shelling and missile strikes.
Over 1,300 Israelis and at least 27 Americans have been killed since Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel. Palestinian officials said that over 2,000 Palestinians have been killed in the week of fighting. Jordan Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi condemned Israel’s counterstrike against the terrorist group Hamas in Gaza, saying that Israel’s blockade of aid and “pressure on residents to leave” is “in violation of international law.”Israeli Defense Forces officials said that the country’s first ground raids into Gaza took place over the day on Friday. It’s unclear if the first push into the territory is part of a larger offensive against Hamas.
“The noose around the civilian population in Gaza is tightening. How are 1.1 million people supposed to move across a densely populated warzone in less than 24 hours?” said U.N. emergency relief coordinator Martin Griffiths on social media Friday. “I shudder to think what the humanitarian consequences of the evacuation order would be.”
