Our correspondent Lisa Holland<\/b> is in Jerusalem now, where she broke down what’s been gathered from airdrop plans.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In the past, the UK has also been involved – last year, the RAF dropped 10 tonnes.<\/p>\n

We haven’t yet been given any information about exactly when they’re going to take place, but, clearly, every day counts.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“It has enough to feed Palestinians for three months. But, obviously, the breakdown is getting that aid into the country now.”<\/p>\n

Airdrops are extremely dangerous, even if they are a quick way of getting aid into Gaza.<\/p>\n

“These big parachuted drops can be incredibly dangerous – when people know that they’re coming, they gather in their thousands,” Holland said.<\/p>\n

“And that clamour to get at that aid can be very dangerous and also cost lives.”<\/p>\n
