US President Joe Biden said in a statement on the occasion of the month of Ramadan, that he will continue efforts to deliver more aid to the Gaza Strip, and work for an immediate and sustainable ceasefire, according to Sky News.

Biden pointed out to the great tragedy that the Palestinians are experiencing in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Israeli war against Hamas.

He said: “This year comes at a moment of tremendous pain. The war in Gaza has caused terrible suffering to the Palestinian people. More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, most of them civilians. Some of them are family members of American Muslims, who feel deep sadness over losing to their beloved ones. The war has displaced nearly two million Palestinians; many of them in desperate need of food, water, medicine and shelter. As Muslims around the world gather over the coming days and weeks to break their fast, the suffering of the Palestinian people will be at the forefront of the minds of many. It's something on my mind too."

He said that the United States "will continue to lead international efforts aimed at delivering more humanitarian aid to Gaza".

" To Muslims across our country, please know that you are deeply valued members of our American family. To those who are grieving during this time of war, I hear you, I see you, and I pray you find solace in your faith, family, and community. And to all who are marking the beginning of Ramadan tonight, I wish you a safe, healthy, and blessed month. Ramadan kareem. "
