Egypt's military has dropped humanitarian aid by parachute over parts of Gaza on 30 July, targeting areas unreachable by road as famine warnings intensify.
Footage released by Egypt’s Ministry of Defense on Wednesday showed military aircraft releasing cargo over the Strip.
According to officials, four transport planes carried tons of food supplies and dropped them into zones where land access remains impossible.
The delivery comes as Gaza faces a deepening hunger crisis. Since March, food shortages have worsened after Israel blocked all supplies into the territory during its war with Hamas, which began in October 2023. Although the blockade was eased in May, restrictions remain in place, with Israel citing the need to prevent aid diversion to militants.
The World Health Organization has warned of mass starvation, and images of malnourished children have sparked global outrage. Gaza’s Health Ministry says 154 people, including 89 children, have died from malnutrition, mostly in the past few weeks.
A global food security monitor said on Tuesday that Gaza is now facing a famine scenario.
Israel insists it does not intend to starve the population. In recent days, it has announced steps to ease the crisis, including airdrops, pauses in military operations, and efforts to open safer humanitarian corridors.
