Spain has announced today that it has thrown 12 tonnes of food in the Gaza Strip, whose residents are threatened with famine, according to the UN, after 22 months of war between Israel and Hamas.

“Spain is involved in a humanitarian aid mission using a military aircraft of our Air Force, an A400,” Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares announced, posting X video from the business.

A total of 24 packages were dropped “each of which contained 500 pounds, that is, a total of 12 tonnes” of foods equivalent to “about 2,500 portions”, he added.

In addition to these castings, which the Spanish government had announced earlier this week, Albares noted that “trucks with Spanish humanitarian aid” are currently “parked on the border with the Gaza Strip” waiting to enter the enclave.

“The airway is clearly inadequate (…) Israel must open all land passages in a definitive way in order for humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip, the Spanish prime minister insisted, demanding” a truce that will allow aid “.

Many Western countries, including France and Britain, have decided in recent days to send air help to the Palestinian enclave facing a dramatic humanitarian crisis, following the countries of the Middle East.

However, the head of the UN service for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) Philip Lazarin has stressed that air -to -air helps “will end the deteriorating famine”. “They have great costs, they are ineffective and can even kill civilians who starve,” he added in a post on X.
