(LaPresse) The population of the Gaza Strip is exhausted and it has become increasingly complicated to distribute humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians. Food and medicine were parachuted from the sky, in a joint operation by Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and France. King Abdallah of Jordan wanted to personally participate in the mission.
The Jordanian army said six C-130 planes, including three Royal Jordanian Air Force planes, took off from Amman. Three other planes were participating in the mission: one from the United Arab Emirates, one from Egypt and one from France.
The airdrop of aid, the first ever carried out on the Strip, “is part of a humanitarian aid effort aimed at providing relief to the population of the Gaza Strip”, said the Jordanian army, which also published images that show King Abdullah II of Jordan inside one of the mission’s planes.
