Spain Air-Drops 12 Tonnes of Food Aid over Gaza
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 2 – Spain air-dropped 12 tonnes of food to feed 11,000 people amid warnings of a worsening famine that requires immediate humanitarian access, officials said.
- Amid warnings of famine, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares announced on Friday that Spain air-dropped 12 tonnes of food into the Gaza Strip, enough to feed 11,000 people.
- Facing blocked crossings, humanitarian agencies warned last week that one-third of Gaza’s population lacked food access due to the border closures since March 2.
- After deploying 24 parachutes carrying 500 kilos each, Spain has aid waiting to cross into Gaza by road from Egypt.
- Albares said, "The induced famine that the people of Gaza are suffering is a disgrace to all of humanity," highlighting the limitations of aid airdrops.
- Recently, Spain joined Britain and France in airlift aid partnerships amid growing international pressure on Israel for unhindered humanitarian access.
