President Joe Biden announced today that the United States is providing $100 million in humanitarian assistance for the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank.
The funding will help support over a million displaced and conflict-affected people with clean water, food, hygiene support, medical care, and other essential needs.
The United States provides humanitarian assistance through trusted partners including UN agencies and international NGOs.
“Civilians are not to blame and should not suffer for Hamas’s horrific terrorism,” The White House revealed in a statement. “Civilian lives must be protected and assistance must urgently reach those in need. We will continue to work closely with partners in the region to stress the importance of upholding the law of war, supporting those who are trying to get to safety or provide assistance, and facilitating access to food, water, medical care, and shelter.”
