Jordan’s helicopters have started delivery of help to Gazi – the first since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has been proclaimed.
The BBC was allowed to join the mission, which landed on the Israeli territory in the southern Gaza between the Israeli border and the city of Wadi al-Salqa.
Helicopters land on a small strip surrounded by a wire from the razor.
It can accommodate only two landings of Blackhawk helicopter at once.
The Jordans do not leave the brief.
Among the supplies was the help of Britain.
The scene from the air is revealed from noon mist – gray ruins and lifeless landscapes.
As we land, people from Jordan’s air forces jump first and make sure someone from the World Food Program for food is to receive assistance.
The solitary figure in the high visibility jacket is approaching.
In addition to the barbed wire fence, two trucks are waiting to bring help to the nearby Khan Younis.
No formalities. Help is quickly unloaded. Constantly the rotors of the helicopter are constantly turning.
There is a sense of real urgency – 14 more helicopters are waiting for us to follow us to the landing zone.
Although this is only the edge of the conflict zone, the area besides landing is reminiscent of the desolation after 15 months of war.
I saw what seemed like Israeli digging machines that work in the area.
For Tuesday, the Jordans scheduled 16 helicopters on Tuesday.
They deliver medical supplies and children’s formulas that could be spoiled if they are transported in a long way.
The official spokesman for the Jordanian government, Dr. Mohammad al-Momani, told me that the scenes of human suffering in the gauze were “terrible … and inhumane.”
He said Jordan joined the international community to try to alleviate suffering.
