President Emmanuel Macron says France and Jordan teamed up to airdrop seven tonnes of aid to civilians and aid workers in Gaza as Israel continues to bomb the Palestinian territory, AFP reports.

“In a difficult context, France and Jordan delivered aid by air to the population and those aiding them,” Macron wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

“The humanitarian situation remains critical in Gaza” after three months of conflict, he added.

The French leader posted a photograph of an airman standing on the cargo ramp of a military plane, with parachutes visible in the sky below.
