66 Bundles of Aid on the Wall, 66 Bundles of Aid! First Gaza Joint Airdrop Away

The United States and Jordan airdropped humanitarian aid into Gaza on Saturday, US Central Command said.

The combined operation by the US Air Force and the Royal Jordanian Air Force saw US C-130 aircraft dropping 38,000 meals along the Gaza coastline, CENTCOM said in a statement quoted by CNN.

There were 66 total bundles dropped – 22 from each of three aircraft, a US official said. There was no water or medical supplies in the bundles.

“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,” CENTCOM said.

If Hamas hadn't been driving all the previous convoys of aid enough to feed the residents seven times over straight to their warehouses, this little bit of (very dangerous for our aircraft) theater wouldn't be necessary. But I hardly expect to hear anything about that in the "IT'S NOT ENOUGH!" caterwauling that's already started from the usual suspects.
