Jordan and the United Arab Emirates parachuted 25 tons of aid into the Gaza Strip on Sunday in their first airdrop in months, a Jordanian official source said.

The Prime Minister held emergency talks with his French and German counterparts on Saturday amid mounting global anger at the humanitarian conditions in the enclave.

The UK is collaborating with Jordan on plans to air drop aid into Gaza and evacuate children needing medical assistance, as announced by Sir Keir Starmer. The UN has criticised aid air drops as inefficient and a 'distraction,' advocating instead for land routes to deliver aid more effectively and safely into Gaza.
