Belgium’s air force dropped the first in a series of its aid packages in Gaza on Sunday in cooperation with Jordan, Belgium’s defence ministry said in a statement. 

While still heavily restricting the entry of aid trucks into Gaza, Israel has permitted states to conduct limited air drops of aid. The operation has drawn heavy criticism from aid groups, with Unrwa warning that the move is “inefficient” and even “dangerous” as it risks triggering refeeding syndrome in starving Palestinians.
