France Sends 40 Tons of Emergency Aid to Gaza

France has announced the delivery of 40 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza in response to the worsening humanitarian emergency in the region.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot confirmed on Friday that four airlifts carrying 10 tons each of vital supplies will be dispatched from Jordan to Gaza. 

He described the operation as an urgent response to the dire situation but acknowledged it remains insufficient given the scale of the crisis.

“These are emergency supplies, but they are still not enough in the face of this horrific situation,” Barrot told France Info.

The aid initiative comes as warnings of famine grow increasingly urgent. A global hunger monitor reported earlier this week that Gaza is on the brink of famine, citing a sharp increase in malnutrition rates, rising child mortality linked to hunger, and extreme restrictions on humanitarian access.
