The UN warns of an "almost inevitable widespread famine" within the Palestinian territory. The entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip fell by 50% between January and February.
No humanitarian convoy has been able to reach northern Gaza for more than a month. France carried out two drops of humanitarian cargo, in two joint operations with Jordan on Monday and Tuesday. The aid provided by French aircraft consisted of 2.2 tonnes of food packages and hygiene kits dropped in specific containers equipped with parachutes. This was done “at the suggestion” of Jordan, the French Ministry of the Armed Forces explains to Le Parisien.
