France's Urgent Humanitarian Airdrop to Gaza Amid Famine Concerns
France initiated an air-drop of 40 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Gaza, urging Israel to grant full access to the region as famine concerns rise. President Macron highlighted the urgency of the situation and called for expanded humanitarian entry. Aid efforts involve international collaborations and face access challenges.
France launched a critical air-drop operation on Friday, delivering 40 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Gaza, as calls intensified for Israel to grant fuller access to the area amid severe famine concerns.
President Emmanuel Macron emphasized the dire need for continued aid, acknowledging support from international partners, including Jordan, the UAE, and Germany, while urging Israel to authorize comprehensive humanitarian access.
This initiative follows France's participation in the European humanitarian airlift, organized in mid-October 2023 by the European Union, facilitating over 3,350 tons of aid deliveries to Gaza, despite ongoing access negotiations with Israeli authorities.
