Our correspondent Lisa Holland is in Jerusalem now, where she broke down what’s been gathered from airdrop plans.
While we don’t have a sense of how much will be parachuted into Gaza, we know two countries are expected to be involved – Jordan and the UAE.
In the past, the UK has also been involved – last year, the RAF dropped 10 tonnes.
We haven’t yet been given any information about exactly when they’re going to take place, but, clearly, every day counts.
“Now, what we do know is the UN has said – and has been saying for some days – that it has three months’ worth of aid stockpiled on the ground in Egypt and Jordan,” Holland said.
“It has enough to feed Palestinians for three months. But, obviously, the breakdown is getting that aid into the country now.”
Airdrops are extremely dangerous, even if they are a quick way of getting aid into Gaza.
“These big parachuted drops can be incredibly dangerous – when people know that they’re coming, they gather in their thousands,” Holland said.
“And that clamour to get at that aid can be very dangerous and also cost lives.”
