AMMAN - Jordanian military planes on Tuesday dropped aid to northern Gaza for first time in five months to help relieve a dire humanitarian situation in the enclave, an official source said.
Two C-130 planes belonging to the Jordanian air force dropped the cargo that contained nearly seven tonnes of food and essential relief to areas the UN agencies identified as most in need and facing hunger, the source told Reuters.
Heavy rains flooded tent encampments of displaced Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Monday, adding seasonal winter misery to communities already devastated by 13 months of war, as Israeli forces stepped up strikes in the enclave.
Downpours overnight inundated tents and in some places washed away the plastic and cloth shelters used by displaced Gazans, most of whom have been uprooted several times during the conflict between Israel and Hamas militants.
The Hamas-run Gaza government media office said around 10,000 tents were either washed away or damaged due to the winter storm, appealing for international help to provide displaced families with tents to shield them against the rain floods.
