Pro-Palestine demonstrators interrupted US President Joe Biden's speech in North Carolina as part of his election campaign. Biden acknowledged that those calling for more humanitarian aid and health care services in Gaza are right.
The ongoing Israeli war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, has left tens of thousands of civilian victims, most of them children and women, and a famine that has claimed the lives of children and the elderly. Israel prevents ground aid from entering the Gaza Strip, despite repeated calls and international appeals to allow humanitarian aid to enter.
