Jordan and the United Arab Emirates parachuted 25 tons of aid into the Gaza Strip on Sunday in their first airdrop in months, a Jordanian official said.
The country has confirmed that it has carried out three airdrops over Gaza, including one in co-operation with the United Arab Emirates.
An official said the air drops were not a substitute for delivery by land, as it is also sending in 60 trucks carrying essential food supplies, the country's state-run news agency reports - while Egypt is also delivering more aid by land.
Two Jordanian C-130 planes and one United Arab Emirate aircraft were involved in the mission and targeted several locations within the embattled Gaza Strip.
Jordanian state TV added that the latest delivery of aid brings the total number of airdrops by the nation to 127 since the start of the war in Gaza.
