US EditionAirdrops Deliver Food to Gaza, but Aid Groups Say It Isn’t Enough
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 27 – Israel expanded aid deliveries with 200 trucks daily and airdropped 200 tons of supplies during a partial 72-hour fighting pause to address severe food shortages in Gaza, officials said.
- On July 27, 2025, Israel delivered airdrops containing 200 tons of humanitarian aid, including food and medical items, into Gaza while prolonging the 72-hour ceasefire.
- The aid response followed a blockade imposed on Gaza after ceasefire talks broke down and amid growing concerns of starvation and malnutrition.
- Israeli forces paused fighting daily for 10 hours in three populated areas to allow aid access, but the airdrops only delivered a small fraction of needed supplies.
- Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu emphasized that regardless of the approach taken, there must still be provision for a limited amount of humanitarian aid to enter, while UNICEF urged significantly increased assistance to address the needs of starving children.
- Although trucks have started entering Gaza, aid groups warn that ongoing restrictions and conflict dynamics limit relief, suggesting a ceasefire is ultimately needed to prevent further starvation.
