April 9 USCENTCOM Conducts Humanitarian Airdrops into Gaza U.S. Central Command conducted an air drop of humanitarian assistance into Northern Gaza on April 9, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. (Gaza time) to provide essential relief to civilians affected by the ongoing conflict. The joint operation included four C-130 U.S. Air Force aircraft, and U.S. Army Soldiers specialized in aerial delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance supplies. The U.S. C-130s dropped over 50,600 U.S. meal equivalents into Northern Gaza, an area of great need, allowing for civilian access to the critical aid. To date the U.S. has dropped approximately 797 tons of humanitarian assistance supplies. The DoD humanitarian airdrops contribute to ongoing U.S. and partner-nation government efforts to alleviate human suffering. These airdrops are part of a sustained effort, and we continue to plan follow-on aerial deliveries.
