Israeli army says dozens of aid packages airdropped into Gaza
An Israeli military statement says 120 humanitarian aid packages have been airdropped throughout Gaza in an operation joined by six countries.
The United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Egypt, Germany, Belgium and Canada joined the operation, the statement said.
It added it was the first time that Canada has taken part in such an operation.
Humanitarian officials have criticised the reliance on airdrops as dangerous in densely populated Gaza. A nurse was killed by such a drop in Deir el-Balah today.
They said it would be far more effective for Israel to allow in more aid through land crossings.
120 packages, 7.5 planes, about 105t, about 5-6 trucks worth, about 0.8%-1.0% of daily needs.
Maybe even less

Canadian aircraft carried out an airdrop of nearly 10,000 kilograms of aid to Palestinians in Gaza on Monday as Prime Minister Mark Carney warns of a deteriorating humanitarian crisis in the region.
The Canadian Armed Forces flew a CC-130J Hercules aircraft over the Gaza Strip to conduct the drop, said Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and Defence Minister David McGuinty in a media statement.
10t only in the Canadian plane, half a truck. or 5,400 2,200 calorie meals. I hope we're more serious about fighting the forest fires and not drop half a bucket of water on it and call it a day.
28 children being killed per day in Gaza: UNICEF
The UN’s children’s fund has decried the scale of children being killed in Gaza, which it says averages out to 28 a day – “the size of a classroom”.
“Gaza’s children need food, water, medicine and protection. More than anything, they need a ceasefire, NOW,” said the UN agency.
Death by bombardments.
Death by malnutrition and starvation.
Death by lack of aid and vital services.
In Gaza, an average of 28 children a day - the size of a classroom - have been killed.
