The Jordanian Armed Forces have executed seven aerial drops delivering humanitarian and food assistance to several locations in northern Gaza.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to support the people of Gaza amidst the ongoing Israeli military actions in the area.
The humanitarian drops included relief supplies and were conducted with the participation of various international forces.
Aircraft involved included one from the Royal Jordanian Air Force, one from the Arab Republic of Egypt, three from the United States, one from the United Kingdom, and one from the Federal Republic of Germany.
The Jordanian Armed Forces have emphasized their commitment to continuing the delivery of humanitarian and medical aid through an air bridge.
This aid is dispatched from Marka Airport towards El Arish International Airport or through aerial drops directly into Gaza, as well as by land convoys.
These efforts aim to help the residents of Gaza cope with the challenging circumstances and reflect the spirit of cooperation and solidarity between the people of Jordan and Gaza.
Since the onset of the Israeli offensive in Gaza, the Jordanian Armed Forces have conducted a total of 93 aerial drops, with an additional 242 conducted in collaboration with allied and partner nations.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres called on Israel to immediately reopen the Rafah and Kerem Shalom border crossings to allow the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Guterres emphasized the urgent need during a press briefing, expressing deep concern over the renewed military activities in Rafah.
“The simultaneous closure of both Rafah and Kerem Shalom border crossings is particularly detrimental to the already dire humanitarian situation.
