France and Jordan airdrop aid to Gaza

France and Jordan teamed up to airdrop seven tonnes of "humanitarian and health" aidto Gaza on Thursday.

The United Nations estimates that 1.9 million Gazans have been displaced, with hundreds of thousands risking famine and most hospitals out of action.

There are serious shortages of food, water, fuel and medicines despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding deliveries of humanitarian aid. The supplies dropped by France and Jordan were equipped with systems that remotely guided them to a Jordanian field hospital operating in the territory.
