Jordan and Egypt Halt Humanitarian Airdrops in Gaza

Jordan and Egypt have ceased their aerial operations, and at this stage, no further airdrops over the Gaza Strip are anticipated.Kan News has learned that the Jordanians froze the airdrops a week ago "for logistical reasons," while Egypt stopped airdropping aid about a month ago. Currently, no new requests have been submitted for coordination with Israeli security authorities.In the defense establishment, sources say that if Jordan or Egypt submit a renewed request, the matter will be reviewed. However, the consensus among the participating countries is that the aerial airdrops did not substantially improve the humanitarian situation in the Strip. According to them, sufficient aid trucks are entering Gaza today, and there is no famine, making the airdrops akin to "a drop in the ocean."About a month and a half ago, Israel permitted Jordan and Egypt, in coordination with COGAT, to lead the airdrop operations, alongside other countries including the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Singapore, and ten additional European nations.
