Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh urged the United Nations and the European Union to "airdrop
aid" to Gaza, where Israeli forces have been
conducting an aggression on
the area since the 7th of October.

According to Al-Mamlaka TV, Shtayyeh stated
during the weekly cabinet meeting, "I demand the United Nations and the
European Union airdrop aid in Gaza, especially in the northern region, using
parachutes, as has been done in various experiments worldwide. We request the
opening of relief passages to Gaza and not confining it to just the
Rafah crossing."
Through the Royal Jordanian Air Force planes,
Jordan had airdropped aid to the Jordanian Field Hospital in Gaza 76 times.
The Rafah crossing, the border point between
Gaza and Egypt, which Israel does not control, is the sole passage currently
permitting the entry of trucks loaded with food, medicine, medical supplies,
water, blankets, tents, and other essential aid.
According to the
United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), 76 trucks crossed from Egypt into
Gaza on Sunday, raising the total number of trucks entering the area since the
21st of October to 981.
However, this aid is insufficient to meet the
needs of the 2.4 million people residing in Gaza. According to the United
Nations, 1.6 million people have been displaced from the region since the onset
of the Israeli aggression.
