Israel army says 'coordinated' with Jordan to drop medical aid into Gaza

The Israeli army said it had "coordinated" with Jordan to air-drop vital medical supplies to a field hospital in the besieged Gaza area, more than four weeks since the start of the war.

"Overnight, in coordination with the IDF (Israel Defence Forces), a Jordanian airplane dropped medical equipment and food to the Jordanian Hospital in the Gaza Strip. The equipment will be used by the medical staff for patients," the Israeli army said in a statement.
