GAZA STRIP, a combined humanitarian assistance airdrop into Gaza of over 38,000 meals along the coastline using C-130 aircraft was conducted by U.S. and Jordanian air forces and U.S. Central Command.

Airdrop humanitarian aid into Gaza.

The US plan has been criticized as inefficient, while Israel continues to block most aid trucks entering Gaza by land.

The US military will begin sending food and supplies by air to Gaza in the next few days.

Previously, other countries like France, Jordan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia have done the same thing.

The U.S. government is considering delivering aid to Gaza by air via the Jordan route.

A U.S. government official said the consideration emerged as the delivery of aid through the land route became more difficult due to the Israeli blockade of Gaza.

In addition to the US, the Canadian government is also said to be sending aid by air to Gaza as soon as possible.

The Canadian Minister for International Development, Ahmed Hussen, said that the air delivery of aid would work together with Jordan.

Besides, Jordan, along with Egypt and France, have also sent aerial relief supplies to Gaza this week.

On Wednesday, February 28, Jordan's King Abdullah II was directly on a military plane that drove aid to Gaza by air.

Six C-130s, including three from the Royal Jordanian Air Force and three from the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and France, took off from the capital of Amman as part of a humanitarian aid operation to alleviate the suffering of Gaza's citizens.
