JAF conducts eight airdrops of aid into northern Gaza

AMMAN — The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF), in cooperation with five other countries, on Sunday, carried out eight airdrops of aid to the northern war-ravaged Gaza Strip.

JAF said the airdrops were carried out in response to the humanitarian duty and as part of the ongoing efforts of Jordan to support the steadfastness of the Palestinians and alleviate the repercussions of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The operation involved the participation of one aircraft from the Royal Jordanian Air Force, one aircraft from the UAE, one from Egypt, three military cargo plaes from the US, one from Germany, and one from The Netherlands 

JAF reiterated that it is still sending aid via an air bridge to supply humanitarian and medical supplies, whether by flights from Marka Airport towards El Arish International Airport of Egypt, airdrops on the Gaza Strip, or land aid convoys.

This endeavour is part of Jordan’s continuous efforts to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians in the besieged strip and support them in light of the difficult circumstances imposed by the Israeli war on Gaza since October 7, JAF said.

JAF has conducted 72 airdrops since the start of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, in addition to 154 airdrops that were conducted by the army in collaboration with other countries.
