Cairo [Egypt], December 8: Jordan's air force said on Thursday it had dropped urgent medical supplies to a Jordanian field hospital in southern Gaza, as the Israeli military focussed the latest stage of its offensive on the southern city of Khan Younis.
It is the fourth time Jordan has air-dropped medical and relief supplies to Gaza, but it is the first to be carried out to the Jordanian hospital in Khan Younis, the largest city in the south of the Palestinian territory.
The hospital was set up only about two weeks ago.
The first three times, aid was dropped at the Jordanian field hospital in northern Gaza.
Israel's military is focusing its operation against Hamas in Khan Younis.
Israeli tanks and forces moved into the city in recent days and intense urban fighting was reported on Wednesday. Dozens of Hamas positions have been attacked, the army said on Thursday.
