The Israeli military reports that it allowed six countries, including for the first time Italy and Greece, to airdrop 106 packages of aid over the starving Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reports.
It said in a statement that the two countries joined the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Germany and the Netherlands in today’s air drop.
The UN and international stakeholders have repeatedly denounced the air drops as ineffective and dangerous. Israel continues to block most aid from getting to starving Palestinians in the enclave, as more people die from hunger on a daily basis.
