The agency confirmed that “16 tons of food supplies and baby formula were airdropped across various areas of the Gaza Strip.” It also noted that “in cooperation with the United Arab Emirates, approximately 73 tons of essential supplies have been airdropped into Gaza over the past few days.”
In a related context, the death toll from famine and malnutrition in the Gaza Strip has risen to 154, including 89 children, after 7 new deaths were recorded in the past 24 hours, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
