(Adnkronos) – Spain will parachute 12 tons of food into Gaza next Friday, to address the threat of famine looming over the citizens of the Strip. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, one of the European leaders most critical of the Israeli military offensive in the territory, announced this during a press conference, stating that the delivery will take place from Jordan using Spanish Air Force planes. “The famine in Gaza is a shame for all humanity and stopping it is therefore a moral imperative,” he added.
The operation is a rare example of a European nation joining Middle Eastern countries in sending aid by air. The Spanish Ministry of Defense stated that the food aid will be delivered in a similar way to what Madrid did in March 2024 with the delivery of 26 tons of food.
