Spain says it will airdrop 12 tons of food into Gaza this week
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSpain says it will airdrop 12 tons of food into Gaza this week as the threat of famine stalks the Palestinian territory after 21 months of war.
The operation is a rare example of a European nation joining Middle Eastern countries in sending aid by air.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, one of the most virulent critics of Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, tells a news conference that the delivery will take place from Jordan on Friday using Spanish air force planes.
“The famine in Gaza is a shame for all of humanity and stopping it, therefore, is a moral imperative,” he says.
The defense ministry says the 12 tons will be delivered in an operation similar to another carried out in March 2024, when Spain delivered 26 tons of food to Gaza.
