Despite coordination with the Israeli army, critics point to the inefficiency and risks of this method of supply.
The transport aircraft A400m German armed forces, which took off from Jordan, on Saturday again dropped humanitarian aid to the Palestinian band Gaza. There were 22 food pallets and medical material with a total weight of 9.6 tons. If possible, such flights will continue on Sunday, a German aviation spokesman told Berlin.
According to the Israeli army that coordinates the operation, a total of 90 pallets with humanitarian aid were dropped on Saturday. In addition to Germany, it also came from France, Egypt, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.
Crisis in Gaza
According to the UN, the Gaza band is on the verge of famine. The Israeli army controls all the approaches to this coastal enclave and has been largely curtailed for several months by the supply of humanitarian aid, or it did not let it go there. Israel wants to raise pressure on the militant Hamas movement to release the last hostages kidnapped on October 7, 2023 at an invasion of the territory of the Jewish state.
After the growing global criticism of the suffering of Palestinian civilians, Israel has re -allowed more supplies on the ground and dropping out of aircraft from last Sunday.
However, international organizations consider dropping assistance from aircraft ineffective and expensive for its relatively small amount. Humanitarian workers also point out that pallets could hurt or kill people on Earth in this densely populated area.
