| [IsraelTimes] Aircraft from Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Singapore and Indonesia airdropped 180 pallets of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip today, the IDF says. Each pallet contains around one ton of food. Indonesia, with the largest Muslim population in the world, does not have relations with Israel, but reports in recent weeks have swirled around efforts to broker a normalization deal. Yesterday marked the first time it airdropped aid in Gaza, according to COGAT. Israel re-adopted a policy of allowing aid airdrops on July 26, amid mounting international criticism over the hunger crisis in Gaza. But airdrops are only able to deliver a small fraction of what can come into Gaza by land. They also pose safety risks for the civilians who can be hit by the packages from above. Over 300 truckloads of aid entered Gaza Sunday, Israel reports [IsraelTimes] Some 320 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip yesterday through the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities (COGAT) says. According to COGAT, more than 330 trucks’ worth of aid were also collected by the United Nations and other international organizations from the Gaza sides of the crossings yesterday to be distributed. Another 161 pallets of aid — about 5-8 trucks’ worth — were airdropped by Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Indonesia in Gaza yesterday, according to the IDF. Each pallet has about one ton of food. Similar amounts of aid deliveries have been reported daily for approximately the past week. The UN has said 600 trucks of aid need to be distributed each day in order to properly feed the Strip’s roughly two million people. COGAT also says that “tankers of UN fuel entered for the operation of essential humanitarian systems” yesterday. |
