US military carried out air drop into northern Gaza

US Central Command (Centcom) said the operation dropped 27,600 meals and 25,900 bottles of water into northern Gaza, “an area of great need, allowing for civilian access to the critical aid”.

"These airdrops are part of a sustained effort, and we continue to plan follow on aerial deliveries," Centcom said in a statement.

The US has previously denied it was responsible for an air drop last week that killed five Palestinians with 10 others wounded.
