The According to a media report, the Jordanian air force has dropped medical supplies over the strip of land sealed off by Israel. Around midnight, medical supplies and medicines were dropped by parachute over a Jordanian field hospital in Gaza, the newspaper “The Times of Israel” quotes a statement from Jordan’s King Abdullah II.
It remains unclear whether the relief supplies have reached the hospital. As the newspaper further reported, citing a US source, the action was carried out in coordination with the USA and Israel. There was initially no confirmation.
Israel demands that all aid supplies, which so far only reach the south of the Gaza Strip via the Egyptian Rafah border crossing, be checked. This is intended to prevent weapons for the terrorist organization Hamas from being smuggled into the Gaza Strip.
