The scene from the air reveals itself out of the midday haze - grey ruins and a lifeless landscape.

As we land, the Jordanian air force men jump out first and make sure there is someone from the World Food Programme to receive the aid.

A solitary figure in a hi-vis jacket approaches.

Next to a barbed wire fence two trucks are waiting to bring the aid into nearby Khan Younis.
