This Monday, February 26, Jordan and France carried out food drops for the civilian populations of the Gaza Strip. In Deir al-Balah, residents gathered on the beach helplessly watched packages fall into the sea.
Some of them swam to look for pallets of aid that had fallen into the water. A symbol of the Palestinians' dismay, these images have made the rounds on social networks, raising many questions about this humanitarian operation. The images published by Palestinians and by the Jordanian and French army allow us to understand how the operation took place.
