Aircraft from the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Germany, Belgium, France and — for the first time — the Netherlands airdropped 72 pallets of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip today, the IDF says.

Each pallet contains around one ton of food.

Since July 26, over 1,000 humanitarian aid packages have been airdropped in the Gaza Strip by ten countries, including Israel, according to the military. The packages the IDF airdropped were supplied by international aid groups.
