Egypt, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates have carried out airdrops of humanitarian aid over the Gaza Strip, Anadolu Agency reports, citing Jordan’s news agency Petra.

According to Petra, the Jordanian army conducted “a new round of airdrop operations to deliver relief aid to our brothers in the Gaza Strip, in cooperation with the UAE Air Force.”

The airdrops, the agency said, were conducted “using two C-130 aircraft belonging to the Royal Jordanian Air Force and its Emirati counterpart, in coordination with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation.”

Egyptian Armed Forces spokesman Brig. Gen. Gharib Abdel Hafez announced in a statement on Facebook that four military transport aircraft took off from Egypt “loaded with tons of food aid to conduct airdrop operations over areas in the Gaza Strip that are difficult to access by land.”
