Spain announced on Friday it had airlifted 12 tons of food into Gaza amid a worsening humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave, according to AFP.
Spanish Foreign Minister Jos� Manuel Albares revealed that the operation included the deployment of 24 parachutes, each carrying 500 kilos (1,100 pounds) of foodenough to feed 11,000 people.
Albares stated that Spain also has humanitarian aid awaiting entry into Gaza via land routes from Egypt.
The induced famine that the people of Gaza are suffering is a disgrace to all of humanity, Israel must open all land crossings permanently so that humanitarian aid can enter on a massive scale, Albares said.
On Friday, France also began airdropping 40 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza on Friday and urged Israel to allow full access to the area amid a worsening starvation crisis, according to Reuters.
Faced with the absolute urgency, we have just conducted a food airdrop operation in Gaza. Thank you to our Jordanian, Emirati, and German partners for their support, and to our military personnel for their commitment, President Emmanuel Macron wrote on social media platform X.
Last week, the Royal Jordanian Air Force and UAE Air Force C-130 aircraft successfully carried out three humanitarian airdrops full of food and basic necessities amid the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
Dozens of Gazans including children have lost their souls due to malnutrition throughout the 21 months of war, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
