French and German air forces release images of humanitarian aid airdrop in Gaza. A C-130 Hercules transport plane dropped 4 tonnes of emergency food over northern Gaza.

This new air operation comes as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, visiting the Middle East, called on Israel to support the transfer of aid to Gaza. The humanitarian situation could further worsen since Israel plans, while negotiating a temporary ceasefire with Hamas, to launch a military operation, this time in Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip.
