Jordan carries out ‘largest’ aid drop on Gaza
Jordan said on Tuesday it has carried out its largest airdrop of food and relief aid supplies on the Gaza Strip.
Three Jordanian armed forces aircraft took part in the operation, along with three U.S. aircraft, one Egyptian and one French.
They targeted northern Gaza. The packages attached to parachutes included aid provided by the World Food Programme (WFP), Jordanian armed forces said.
Jordan has been dropping food and supplies into Gaza by air since November.
Recently, other countries began joining those operations.
