On Sunday, the Jordanian army announced that two Jordanian aircraft and one from the United Arab Emirates dropped 25 tons of humanitarian aid over the Gaza Strip.

"The Jordanian Armed Forces conducted three humanitarian airdrops over Gaza on Sunday, one of which was carried out in coordination with the United Arab Emirates," the army said in a statement.

The operation is part of ongoing efforts by regional partners to deliver emergency assistance to civilians in Gaza amid a worsening humanitarian crisis.

Jordan has conducted multiple airdrop missions in recent months, often partnering with other nations to increase the reach and volume of aid delivery, especially in areas where ground access is limited or blocked.
