JAF said the two Jordanian C-130s, three military cargo planes from the US and one from Belgium participated in the operation on Friday, which dropped pallets of boxes of food supplies attached to parachutes into the northern Gaza Strip, where thousands of people have been reported to be on the verge of famine after the WFP halted its food deliveries in late February.

The US, France, Belgium, the UK, The Netherlands, Egypt, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman have joined Jordan in airdropping aid into Gaza.
