According to the Jordanian News Agency, 6 C130 aircraft took off from the capital Amman, including 3 aircraft belonging to the Royal Jordanian Air Force, and 3 other aircraft from the Emirates, Egypt and France, as part of the humanitarian aid operation aimed at alleviating the suffering of the people of the Strip, within an international effort with the participation of sisterly and friendly countries.
The Egyptian Armed Forces announced its participation in the airdrop operation, along with the UAE, Qatar, France and Jordan.
These landings aimed to deliver aid directly to the population by dropping it on the coast of the Gaza Strip, in an operation that took place without parachute guidance devices, and forced the planes to fly at low altitudes.
The aid that was dropped contains relief and food supplies, including ready-to-eat meals of high nutritional value, to alleviate the suffering of the people in Gaza due to the difficult conditions they are facing.
One of the planes was allocated to the second private Jordanian field hospital in the southern Gaza Strip, which suffers from a severe shortage of basic materials. It was supplied with relief and medical supplies, health supplies and fuel.
