The airdrop, carrying 82 tonnes of food and relief aid, took place over the northern Gaza Strip, bringing the total amount of aid to 2,107 tonnes since the beginning of the operation.
This brings the total amount of aid sent by the UAE to northern Gaza to over 2,477 tonnes, including both land shipments through the Kerem Shalom crossing and airdrops via “Birds of Goodness”.
