Israel army says ‘coordinated’ with Jordan to drop medical aid into Gaza – World

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM: The Israeli army said Monday it had “coordinated” with Jordan to air-drop vital medical supplies to a field hospital in the besieged Gaza Strip, more than four weeks since the start of the war.

“Overnight, in coordination with the IDF (Israel Defence Forces), a Jordanian airplane dropped medical equipment and food to the Jordanian Hospital in the Gaza Strip,” the Israeli army said in a statement.

“The equipment will be used by the medical staff for patients.”

Jordan’s King Abdullah II announced early Monday that his country’s air force air-dropped at midnight “urgent medical aid” to the field hospital.

“This is our duty to aid our brothers and sisters injured in the war on Gaza,” he said, adding: “We will always be there for our Palestinian brethren.”

Israel has been at war in Gaza since the attacks of October 7 when Hamas group stormed across the border, killing 1,400 people and kidnapping more than 240, Israeli officials say.

Israel has relentlessly bombarded the Gaza Strip and sent in ground troops, with the health ministry in the Hamas-run Palestinian territory saying 9,770 people have been killed, around two-thirds of them women and children.
