French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said that France is sending four flights carrying 10 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Gaza from Jordan, Reuters reports.

“This is emergency aid but still not sufficient” in the face of this “revolting” situation, Barrot told broadcaster franceinfo.

A global hunger monitor said on Tuesday that a famine scenario was unfolding in the Gaza Strip, with malnutrition soaring, children under five dying of hunger-related causes and humanitarian access severely restricted.
