US Central Command conducted an airdrop of humanitarian assistance into Northern Gaza on April 2, 2024, at 1:23 p.m. (Gaza time) to provide essential relief to civilians affected by the ongoing conflict.

As reproted by US Central Command in X social network, the joint operation included four C-130 US Air Force aircraft and US Army Soldiers specialized in aerial delivery of US humanitarian assistance supplies.

US C-130s dropped over 50,680 US meal equivalents into Northern Gaza, an area of great need, allowing for civilian access to the critical aid.
