UAE, Jordan Airlift Humanitarian Airdrops over Gaza amid Starvation Crisis

Two Jordanian and one Emirati plane airlifted 25 tons of humanitarian aid over the Gaza Strip on Sunday, according to a statement by the Jordanian army.

The Royal Jordanian Air Force and UAE Air Force C-130 aircraft successfully carried out three humanitarian airdrops full of food and basic necessities amid the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

The airdrops represent an integral part of Jordan’s continued relief efforts, carried out in coordination with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization and international partners, to support the Palestinian people and alleviate their sufferings.

On Saturday, the United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan noted that the humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached a “critical and unprecedented level.”

“Air drops are resuming once more, immediately,” Al-Nahyan said.

He further affirmed their commitment to ensuring that essential aid reaches those who are in a dire need, whether through land, air or sea.

Aid Trucks Move toward Gaza

At the same time, aid trucks began moving from Egypt toward the Karam Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing in southern Gaza.

Israel also announced on Saturday that it started aid airdrops to Gaza and is currently taking several other steps to alleviate the humanitarian catastrophe in the Palestinian enclave.

Moreover, Israel’s Foreign Ministry said the military would “apply a ‘humanitarian pause’ in civilian centers and in humanitarian corridors” on Sunday morning.

Dozens of Gazans including children have lost their soles due to malnutrition throughout the 21 months of war, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

Since the beginning of Hamas-Israel War in Gaza in 2023, the Israeli strikes have killed more than 59,000 Palestinians wounded more than 142,000, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
