Israel will soon permit Jordan and the United Arab Emirates to resume airdropping humanitarian supplies to Gaza, as the countries had done last year, according to Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, APA reports citing Times of Israel.
The airdrops are being coordinated with the IDF, says COGAT.
According to Israeli officials, Jordan is set to carry out the first airdrop, possibly even later today.
Last year, the US military, in coordination with Jordan, Egypt, and France, airdropped tens of thousands of meals into northern Gaza, although a malfunction in March 2024 killed five Palestinians.
