AMMAN, March 11 — Military planes parachuted aid over Gaza yesterday, an AFP photographer said, the latest airdrop over the besieged territory’s north where famine looms more than five months into the Israel-Hamas war.
The photographer, on board a Jordanian military plane, saw hundreds of Palestinians rushing to receive the falling pallets of basic supplies.
The Jordanian army said in a statement that US, French, Belgian and Egyptian planes also participated in the relief operation that included “six joint airdrops in the northern parts of Gaza”.
Jordan has conducted 37 unilateral airdrop operations and another 40 “in collaboration with partner nations” during the war, the army said.

Over three hours across northern Gaza on Sunday, the AFP journalist saw hundreds of people, including men, women and children, running and looking up as soon as they heard the sound of the planes above, waiting for the pallets to land.
Looking out from the plane, the photographer could also see massive destruction below.
The United Nations says that the vast majority of Gaza’s 2.4 million people are on the brink of famine, particularly in the north where Israeli restrictions have hampered overland aid access.

The health ministry in the Hamas-ruled territory said at least 23 people, almost all of them children, have recently died of malnutrition and dehydration.
Aid groups say only a fraction of the supplies required to meet basic humanitarian needs have been allowed into Gaza since October.
Humanitarian workers and UN officials have said easing overland access of aid trucks into the Gaza Strip would be more effective than airdrops or maritime shipments to alleviate the dire crisis.
Hamas’s unprecedented October 7 attack on southern Israel that triggered the war resulted in the deaths of about 1,160 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of official Israeli figures.
Israel’s retaliatory military campaign has killed at least 31,045 people in Gaza, the majority women and children, according to the territory’s health ministry. — AFP
