Jordan has dropped medical and pharmaceutical supplies into the Gaza Strip via air.

BBC News reports that the supplies were dropped into a Jordanian field hospital with King Abdullah of Jordan saying, “we will always be there” for Palestine.

Aid agencies have been calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Israel/Hamas war to allow more aid to reach the Gaza Strip.

They warn that residents of Gaza urgently need food, water and medicine.

Among the calls for a ceasefire, according to Al Jazeera, is a joint statement by 18 UN and other organizations.
