The IDF says 20 more humanitarian aid packages were airdropped by Jordan and the UAE into the Gaza Strip today, as part of ongoing efforts to alleviate worsening humanitarian conditions in the enclave amid growing reports of widespread food shortages.

According to an IDF statement, the operation was carried out under the direction of Israel’s political leadership in coordination with the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. It was led by the Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).

The aid packages, which included food, were delivered to both northern and southern Gaza over the past several hours.

The IDF says it will continue to expand its humanitarian operations in cooperation with international partners, while pushing back on what it describes as “false claims of deliberate starvation in Gaza.”
