The IDF says it has “coordinated” a total of 21 airdrops in the Gaza Strip in recent weeks, by the United States, Jordan, France, the UAE, and Egypt, with more than 450 packages of food and medical aid distributed to Palestinian civilians.

The latest airdrop was carried out Saturday by the US and Jordan.

“We will continue expanding our humanitarian efforts to the civilian population in Gaza while we fulfill our goals of freeing our hostages from Hamas and freeing Gaza from Hamas,” says IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari in an English-language video statement.
