The Jordanian Armed Forces – Arab Army conducted today two airdrops of humanitarian and food aid to several locations in northern Gaza – a statement by the JAF said. 


The airdrops included relief and humanitarian aid to support the people of Gaza amid the ongoing “Israeli” assault on the Strip.


These were carried out by two aircraft from the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF), in cooperation with Saudi Arabia's King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center – per the statement. 


The Jordanian Armed Forces emphasized their continued commitment to sending humanitarian and medical aid through an airlift. This aid is delivered via flights from Marka Airport to Al-Arish International Airport, airdrops over Gaza, or ground aid convoys.


Since the start of the “Israeli” aggression on Gaza, the Jordanian Armed Forces have conducted 111 airdrops independently and 263 airdrops in collaboration with partner countries.
