Food aid airways resumed in parts of Gaza on Sunday after Israel opened humanitarian corridors and limited suspension in the fight at the Palestinian enclave.
Jordan announced it had three air forces over the Gaza sky on Sunday, including ones that are working with the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The freight plane said it had dropped 25 tonnes of food and supplies at several locations in Gaza.
Media reports say that some Palestinians lamented their struggle to access humanitarian aid after falling to the ground in sometimes militarized zones.
Food aid air breathing occurs after Israel opened a humanitarian corridor in a besieged Palestinian enclave on Saturday night, and its troops announced on Sunday that it had launched a limited moratorium on fighting 10 hours a day in Gaza’s three populated regions.
Israeli forces are part of a series of steps to secure routes for providing assistance in Gaza, concerns that surge in hunger on territorial mountains.
He also said it corrected airdrops into Gaza, which include aid packages served with flour, sugar and canned food.
The Gaza situation drew a wave of international criticism of Israel’s actions in the 21-month war, especially as images of territorial debilitating Palestinian children emerged and starvation began to circulate widely.
Un welcomes steps to facilitate lockdowns, but warns that risk remains
Meanwhile, the UN on Sunday welcomed measures to ease aid restrictions, but said a wider ceasefire would be needed to reach everyone in Gaza.
UNICEF calls it a “life-saving opportunity” and is marked by a surge in deaths in July amid new warnings from the World Health Organization (WHO) that Gaza’s malnutrition rate is on a “dangerous trajectory.”
Experts have long warned of the risk of hunger in Gaza, where Israel is restricting aid, as Israel says Hamas is sucking up to strengthen its rules without providing evidence of its claims.
That claim was repeated Sunday by President Donald Trump, answering questions from Scottish reporters about Gaza’s humanitarian crisis.
Trump claims Hamas is stealing food aid
“We’re giving a lot of money, lot of food and lots of stuff. If we weren’t there, I think people would be starving frankly. They would have been starving,” Trump said.
His remarks and position are inconsistent with the internal review of the US government, and have recently found no evidence of widespread theft by Hamas of U.S.-funded humanitarian assistance in Gaza, managed by the private group, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
Israel has also accused the United Nations of not receiving food aid and delivering it to those in need, along with Hamas’ controversial responsibility. The UN aid agency has said permission from the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) is required to use the travel route for obvious safety reasons.
