The Jordanian News Agency (Petra) reported on Wednesday evening that the Jordanian Armed Forces and their Emirati counterparts conducted two airdrops over the Gaza Strip to deliver humanitarian and relief aid to the Palestinian residents in Gaza. The agency confirmed that 16 tons of food and baby formula were dropped in various areas of the Gaza Strip. It also noted that, in cooperation with the UAE, about 73 tons of essential materials have been delivered to Gaza in recent days.
In a related context, the death toll from famine and malnutrition in the Gaza Strip has risen to 154, including 89 children, after seven new deaths were recorded in the past 24 hours, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health. Palestinian medical sources indicated that 21 people have been killed by Israeli army fire since Wednesday morning, most of whom were waiting for aid.
The Gaza Strip is experiencing one of the worst humanitarian crises, as the residents suffer from severe famine imposed by Israel since October 7, 2023. From October 7, 2023, until the current month of July, the war on Gaza has resulted in the death of more than 59,000 Palestinians, in addition to approximately 143,000 injured, according to the Ministry of Health in the region.
