Jordan, allies airdrop 35 tons of aid over Gaza

In a continued effort to deliver urgent relief to Gaza, five military aircraft carrying 35 tons of humanitarian aid took off Tuesday from King Abdullah II Air Base in Ghabawi.

The latest airdrop included one aircraft from the Royal Jordanian Air Force, alongside support from the United Arab Emirates, France, and Germany, who contributed one, one, and two planes respectively. The cargo included baby formula, essential food supplies, and other humanitarian items.

Aid parcels were packed in half-ton boxes, tightly sealed to ensure safe delivery, and distributed across northern and central Gaza. The operation was coordinated with several international humanitarian organizations on the ground.

With this mission, the Jordanian Armed Forces have now conducted 140 airdrops over Gaza. An additional 293 joint airdrops have been carried out in collaboration with partner countries, delivering a combined total of 325 tons of aid since air operations resumed on July 27.
