Joe Biden twice confuses Gaza with Ukraine as he approves US military aid airdrops

The US president referred to airdrops to help Ukraine in a speech - but White House officials clarified he was referring to Gaza. The airdrops of "food and supplies" will be provided "in the coming days", Mr Biden said.

President Joe Biden twice confused Gaza with Ukraine as he announced the US would provide desperately needed aid to the war-ravaged Palestinian territory.

Mr Biden, 81, confirmed on Friday that humanitarian assistance would be airdropped into Gaza - a day after the Hamas-run health ministry said 30,000 Palestinians have died since the war began last October.


"In the coming days, we're going to join with our friends in Jordan and others who are providing airdrops of additional food and supplies", the president said, adding the US will "seek to open up other avenues in, including possibly a marine corridor".

Look the guy is old, being the president is not an easy task, how anyone handles the huge work load is beyond me. You look at any US president before and after their term they have aged, when you are his age it is even more stressful. He deserves a break, not because i am a supporter of his but it is a hard job.

Couldn't agree more. I see the same over here with Prime Ministers, it really does age them (except for David Cameron who just seems to get younger every bloody day !!!!!)

I could list a dozen Donal Trump gaffs but its only human and I couldn't blame him for them

He's too old and not all there in my honest opinion. God help us if he stays another 4 years.
