Social media accounts posted two videos of airdrops of aid, claiming they were recent airdrops to the Gaza Strip carried out by Emirati aircraft. The videos were accompanied by the following description: “Emirati aircraft continue to deliver humanitarian aid and food supplies to Gaza to relieve Palestinian families and support them in the difficult circumstances they are experiencing.”

The second video, documenting the unloading of aid from an airplane, was posted by a group of accounts on X , including the account ” Mohammed Taqi,” on 31 March 2024. The accounts sated that it depicted an Emirati aid drop in the Gaza Strip. A closer look at the video reveals the presence of the UAE flag on the aid.
The Jordanian Armed Forces said in a statement on Sunday, 27 July 2025, that they, in partnership with the United Arab Emirates, carried out “three airdrops to deliver humanitarian and food aid to several locations in the Gaza Strip.” The statement added that the airdrops included “25 tons of food and basic necessities.”
