AMMAN: The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) carried out seven airdrop operations over Gaza on Friday, delivering close to 57 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including food supplies, relief items, and baby formula, the Jordan News Agency reported.
The mission, conducted in cooperation with multiple international partners, brings the total amount of aid delivered via airdrop since operations resumed last week to 148 tonnes.
Aircraft from the Royal Jordanian Air Force led the effort alongside planes from the UAE, Germany, France, and Spain. In total, the latest operation involved two Jordanian aircraft, one Emirati, two German, one French, and one Spanish.
The JAF said the airdrops were conducted under Royal directives aimed at intensifying humanitarian relief to Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli military offensive. They are part of broader Jordanian efforts to deliver urgent assistance to civilians in the besieged Strip.
In a statement, the JAF reaffirmed its commitment to its humanitarian mission “whether through airdrops or land convoys.”
Since the start of the war, Jordan has carried out 133 airdrop missions independently and participated in an additional 276 joint operations with allied nations.
