AMMAN — The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) said it conducted on Wednesday a new airdrop of aid into Gaza, in cooperation with international partners.

 

JAF said in a statement that the operation delivered 79 tonnes of food and relief supplies into the besieged Strip, airdropped by military cargo planes from the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF), Germany, the UAE, Belgium, France, and Italy.

 

The operation on Wednesday brought the number of airdrops carried out solely by Jordan since the resumption of missions on July 27 to 153, while combined operations with partner nations have now reached 331.

 

In total, the RJAF has delivered nearly 765 tonnes of humanitarian aid and essential supplies to the war-torn Strip, JAF said.

 

Wednesday’s mission also included aid provided by Canada, underscoring the growing international response in support of Jordan’s efforts to assist the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
