Gaza: Airdrops of humanitarian aid resumed over various locations in the northern Gaza Strip last night, as humanitarian conditions in the enclave continued to deteriorate, according to Palestinian sources and eyewitnesses.
According to Nam News Network, local sources reported that several boxes containing flour, sugar, and canned goods were dropped by parachute over the Sudaniya area in northern Gaza. These airdrops come amidst worsening conditions for the residents of the area who are in dire need of basic supplies.
One of the aid parcels landed on a tent sheltering displaced people in the north of Gaza, causing minor injuries to several individuals, eyewitnesses revealed. Despite the unfortunate incident, the aid is seen as a critical lifeline for many in the area.
In a post on social media platform X, UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan stated that the UAE’s relief efforts would continue by land, air, and sea to address the urgent needs of the most affected populations in Gaza.
