U.S. and Jordan Air-drop More Aid to Gaza

Israel says it is willing to allow in more aid through the two checkpoints

The United States and Jordan carried out a new air drop of humanitarian aid to Gaza's Palestinians on Tuesday, parachuting in more than 36,800 meals, the U.S. military said.

The Israeli offensive in Gaza, which is supported by the United States, has displaced most of the enclave's 2.3 million people and led to critical shortages of food, water and medicine.

The situation is worst in the north of Gaza, which is beyond the reach of aid agencies or news cameras, and was the target of Tuesday's drop. Gaza health authorities say 15 children have died of malnutrition or dehydration at one hospital alone.
