France has dropped 10 tons of aid into Gaza and is asking Israel for a land humanitarian corridor to tackle the food crisis.

France has launched the first 10 tons of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, stressing the need for a land humanitarian corridor as air deliveries are insufficient. President Emmanuel Macron thanked international partners and warned that essential goods such as therapeutic baby food cannot be delivered by air. The action is part of a coordinated European 'airlift' with Jordan involving several European countries.
