Nine countries, including Jordan, the UAE, and Germany, airdropped 161 food packages over Gaza on Sunday, delivering about 106 tonnes of aid, the Israeli military said. Israel coordinated the operation under political directives, denying accusations of deliberate starvation, according to Xinhua.

Aid groups say the drops are insufficient, urging more aid and support for Gaza’s damaged health system. Health authorities reported seven recent deaths from hunger, including two children, raising the famine toll to 258, with 110 children among them.
