The US Air Force said its three planes carried 66 bundles containing about 38,000 meals, Xinhua news agency reported.
Jordan has been air-dropping supplies directly to Gaza and sending aid planes to Egypt’s North Sinai since November last year.
Some of the operations involve cooperation with other countries, including the UAE, Egypt, France, and Britain, among others.
