Five military aircraft deliver 35 tonnes of humanitarian aid into Gaza — JAF
AMMAN — Five military aircraft carrying 35 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including infant formula and food supplies, departed Tuesday from King Abdullah II Air Base in Zarqa to Gaza, as part of international efforts led by Jordan to airlift aid into areas in the besieged Strip that remain inaccessible by land. In a statement on Tuesday, the Jordan Armed Forces – Arab Army (JAF) said the operation included one aircraft from the Royal Jordanian Air Force, joined by aircraft from the United Arab Emirates, France, and two from Germany. The coordinated airdrop aimed to reach vulnerable populations in the northern and central parts of the Gaza Strip. Each aid package was carefully packed into half-tonne sealed parcels to ensure safe delivery and minimise damage upon landing, JAF said, adding that the operation was conducted in coordination with several international humanitarian organisations operating on the ground in Gaza. With Tuesday's mission, the number of airdrops conducted by JAF has risen to 140, in addition to 293 joint airdrops carried out in partnership with allied and friendly nations. Since the resumption of airdrops on July 27, a total of 325 tonnes of humanitarian aid has been delivered to the besieged enclave, JAF said.
