Boris Pistorius has given the green light for the air force to drop urgently needed relief supplies over the Gaza Strip. The Bundeswehr is participating in the airlift for Gaza, which was initiated by Jordan.
Other partners such as the USA and France are also taking part in the initiative. The operation could begin at the end of the week. According to aid organizations, the situation of the people in the coastal strip is becoming increasingly desperate. There is a risk of a hunger crisis if aid deliveries by truck are not increased.
