US airdrops aid to Gaza for third time in week

American C-130 cargo planes airdropped aid to Gaza Thursday, the US military said, its third joint operation with Jordan to deliver assistance by air in less than a week.

US officials say the drops are aimed at supplementing the insufficient supply of aid being brought in by ground to Gaza.

However, the amount of food provided by air is only enough to feed a tiny fraction of the people in need in the coastal territory, which has been devastated by months of conflict.
