The United States has dropped another round of humanitarian aid into Gaza, the U.S. military apparatus in the Middle East announced on April 18.

In a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said it dropped approximately “50,600 U.S. meal equivalents into Northern Gaza, an area of great need, allowing for civilian access to the critical aid” through Air Force C-130 planes.
