Gaza: BBC's Jeremy Bowen Goes Onboard a Plane Dropping Aid
- On Sunday, July 27, Jordan and the UAE conducted joint airdrops delivering 25 tonnes of food aid to parts of the Gaza Strip amid a limited pause in fighting.
- The airdrops followed Israel’s blockade since March 2 and a collapsed truce earlier this year, which caused severe shortages and growing malnutrition in Gaza.
- Airdrops contain dried food items like rice, flour, and baby formula but no medical supplies, and the UN and aid agencies warn this method is expensive, inefficient, and dangerous for civilians on the ground.
- UNRWA commissioner Philippe Lazzarini stated airdrops 'will not reverse the deepening starvation' and cautioned they 'can even kill starving civilians,' while Gaza’s Ministry of Health reported 133 malnutrition-related deaths since October 2023.
- The limited pauses and humanitarian corridors have allowed some aid delivery, but international actors emphasize broader ceasefire and land-based aid to address Gaza’s worsening food crisis effectively.
