Gaza Strip, July 28 -- In a renewed humanitarian push, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Jordan conducted a joint airdrop over Gaza on Sunday, July 27, delivering 25 tonnes of aid, marking their first such coordinated drop in months.

According to the Emirates News Agency (WAM), the mission was the UAE's 54th airdrop under the 'Birds of Goodness' humanitarian operation, carried out in cooperation with Jordan. The delivery aimed to alleviate the worsening food insecurity across the besieged enclave.

The operation involved two Royal Jordanian Air Force C-130 aircraft and one Emirati plane. Jordanian authorities clarified that the airdrop is a temporary measure and not a substitute for comprehensive land-based aid, Reuters reported.
