Planes from Jordan and UAE Airdrop Humanitarian Aid into Gaza
Two planes from the Jordanian and UAE Air Force airdropped 17 tons of humanitarian aid in Gaza on Monday, Jordan's military said. The aid packages come as hunger continues to soar across the enclave. The airdrops took place for the second day as Israel faces increasing pressure over Gaza's humanitarian crisis. However, Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, warned that airdrops are 'expensive, inefficient and can even kill starving civilians.' The 17 tons of airdropped aid amounts to less than one aid truck carrying food, based on the World Food Program's calculation of nearly 19 tons per truck. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Monday that Germany intends to conduct an airlift of humanitarian aid to Gaza along with Jordan. Merz didn't provide details of the plan after a meeting of his security Cabinet, but said his defense minister will consult with France and Britain, 'which are also prepared to make available such an airlift for food and medical goods.' Jordan's King Abdullah II is due to meet Merz in Berlin on Tuesday. Merz said Israel's move to lift some aid restrictions is 'an important first step' but 'further ones must follow quickly.' He also stressed the need for a comprehensive ceasefire. On Sunday, 180 trucks carrying aid entered Gaza, according to the Israeli military body in charge of overseeing humanitarian aid. As the death toll from two years of war in Gaza nears 60,000, a growing number of people are dying from starvation and malnutrition, Gaza health authorities say, with images of starving children shocking the world and fueling international criticism of Israel over sharply worsening conditions. On Monday, the Gaza health ministry said at least 14 people had died in the past 24 hours of starvation and malnutrition, bringing the war's death toll from hunger to 147, including 88 children, most in just the last few weeks.
