Jordanian King Abdullah II recently took part in a humanitarian aid drop into war-torn Gaza, according to state TV footage showing him abord an air force C-130 transport plane, Reuters reports.

The king can be seen on board the flight in military uniform, in the 56-second video broadcast on Jordan’s Al Mamlaka channel.

He was helping soldiers drop a crate said to contain humanitarian and medical aid bound for the Jordanian field hospital in northern Gaza, in a joint operation with the Netherlands.
