France To Air-Drop 40 Tonnes Of Aid To Gaza From Friday: Foreign Minister

GAZA STRIP, JUL 29 – France plans four flights delivering 40 tons of aid to Gaza amid warnings of famine affecting over 2 million residents under blockade, officials said.

  • On July 29, 2025, France announced it will air-drop 40 tonnes of humanitarian aid into Gaza starting from Friday, coordinating with Jordanian authorities.
  • This aid initiative responds to the ongoing conflict that began in October 2023 after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack against Israel, causing over 21 months of blockade and suffering.
  • French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot reported 52 tonnes of French aid remain blocked in El-Arish, Egypt, and stressed that air deliveries help but are insufficient without reopened land access into Gaza.
  • Aid groups warned that mass starvation affects Gaza's more than two million residents, with UN experts describing the territory as slipping into famine under Israeli blockade.
  • France and Germany plan multiple humanitarian flights, but officials emphasize that reopening land routes is essential to alleviate civilian suffering and enable effective aid delivery.
