Golly. That’s like one meal per family up there.
[IsraelTimes] US military C-130 cargo planes on Saturday dropped food in pallets over Gazoo...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
, two days after dozens of Paleostinians who had surged to pull goods off an aid convoy were killed in chaotic scenes.
Three planes from Air Forces Central dropped 66 bundles containing about 38,000 meals into Gaza at 3:30 p.m. local time.
The airdrop was announced by US Central Command (CENTCOM), which said it and the Royal Jordanian Air Force "conducted a combined humanitarian assistance airdrop into Gaza... to provide essential relief to civilians affected by the ongoing conflict."
The airdrop is expected to be the first of many announced by US President Joe
The Big GuyBiden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
on Friday. CENTCOM said it was planning for further such airdrops as "part of a sustained effort to get more aid into Gaza, including by expanding the flow of aid through land corridors and routes."
Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...says at least 115 Paleostinians were killed and hundreds more maimed on Thursday as they swarmed aid trucks that entered the city. Hamas accused Israel of shooting at the crowds.
Israel, which has said dozens were killed, said many of them were trampled in a chaotic crush for the food aid, and that its troops only fired at a few individuals who rushed toward them in a threatening manner. Jerusalem has been under growing international pressure to launch an in-depth investigation.
The C-130 cargo plane is a widely used military jet to deliver aid to remote places due to its ability to land in austere environments and cargo capacity.
A C-130 can airlift as much as 42,000 pounds of cargo and its crews know how to rig the cargo, which sometimes can include even vehicles, onto massive pallets that can be safely dropped out of the back of the aircraft.
38,000 meals for like 2 million starving people that your own vassal is blockading?

…between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. (Gaza time) to provide essential relief to civilians affected by the ongoing conflict.
The combined operation included U.S. Air Force and RJAF C-130 aircraft and respective Army Soldiers specialized in aerial delivery of supplies, built bundles and ensured the safe drop of food aid.
U.S. C-130s dropped over 38,000 meals along the coastline of Gaza allowing for civilian access to the critical aid.
The DoD humanitarian airdrops contributes to ongoing U.S. government efforts to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance to the people in Gaza. We are conducting planning for potential follow-on airborne aid delivery missions.
These airdrops are part of a sustained effort to get more aid into Gaza, including by expanding the flow of aid through land corridors and routes.
