War in Israel
A missile attack by Yemen’s Houthi terrorists on a commercial ship in the Gulf of Aden killed two of its crew members and forced survivors to abandon the vessel on Wednesday, officials said

Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the humanitarian situation in Gaza “unacceptable and unsustainable.”

Biden said the airdrops would begin soon and that the United States was looking into additional ways to facilitate getting aid into the war-battered territory to ease the suffering of Palestinians.
