Jordan conducted another round of humanitarian aid airdrops to Gaza on Tuesday, marking the second day of a concerted international effort to alleviate the crisis in the region.

Six C130 aircraft, including three from the Royal Jordanian Air Force and one each from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, and France, dropped tons of food parcels along the Gaza coast.

King Abdullah II of Jordan personally participated in the airdrop operations, overseeing the preparation and loading process before the planes departed from King Abdullah II Air Base.

During Monday's airdrop, parcels were parachuted over several locations along the coast, prompting hundreds of desperate people to rush and collect them.

The humanitarian effort comes amidst Israel's deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip, which began following an Oct. 7 Hamas operation. The conflict has resulted in nearly 29,900 Palestinian casualties and caused widespread destruction and shortages of necessities. Approximately 1,200 Israelis are believed to have been killed in the violence.

As a result of the Israeli war, 85% of Gaza’s population has been internally displaced, facing acute shortages of food, clean water, and medicine. Additionally, 60% of the enclave's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.

Israel faces accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice. In January, an interim ruling ordered Tel Aviv to cease genocidal acts and ensure the provision of humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza. (ILKHA)
