Jordan requesting US help with Gaza aid airdrops but Trump administration has no plans to assist, officials say
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 29 – Jordan plans a three-week aid airdrop into Gaza amid delays caused by Israeli restrictions; the Trump administration currently opts out while European allies consider support.
- Jordan informed the U.S. State Department of plans to move two convoys into Gaza this week amid ongoing aid deliveries on July 29, 2025.
- This follows Israel's recent changes to aid operations including airdropping food and establishing secure routes for aid convoys from 6am to 11pm.
- While the Gulf coalition, including the UAE and Jordan, continues airdrops under the 'Birds of Goodness' initiative, aid groups criticize these as expensive, dangerous, and insufficient for Gaza's 2 million residents.
- President Trump announced a new aid plan to set up accessible food centers with European help, but the administration has no immediate plans to assist with airdrops despite calls for increased involvement.
- The limited aid and delays entering Gaza contrast with humanitarian warnings of widespread starvation and calls for land-based bulk deliveries as the most effective distribution method.
