Jordanian army carried out the largest aid landing operation for Gaza residents since the start of the Israeli war on the Strip last October. 3 Jordanian planes and a French C-130 plane targeted 11 sites on the Gaza coast from the north to the south of the Strip.

The aid that was dropped under the direction of King Abdullah II included relief and food supplies, including ready-made meals of high nutritional value. The operations come as warnings are mounting of the spread of famine in the besieged Strip, as Palestinian sources confirmed the death of a number of people due to hunger.
