GAZA CITY — A moment of hope unfolded in the skies above Gaza on Sunday as Palestinians cheered the arrival of urgently needed humanitarian aid delivered by air.

According to a statement from the Jordanian army, two Jordanian planes and one Emirati aircraft dropped a combined 25 tonnes of humanitarian aid over Gaza City. The operation aimed to provide relief to civilians amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region.

The aid packages, parachuted in from the skies, were met with applause and emotional scenes as they descended into civilian areas. The drops were part of a coordinated regional effort to ensure the delivery of essentials such as food, medical supplies, and other life-saving materials.

This latest airdrop highlights the continued role of Jordan and the UAE in supporting humanitarian access to Gaza, especially in areas that are difficult to reach by ground due to ongoing conflict and border restrictions.

The symbolic and practical impact of such airdrops is significant, offering not only material relief but also a sense of global attention and solidarity for the people of Gaza.
