CloseThe US has carried out its first airdrop of aid in Gaza, with more than 30,000 meals parachuted in by three military planes.

Footage shows aid landing by parachute in Rafah, Gaza's southern-most city where around 1.5 million Palestinians are sheltering.

The operation was carried out in conjunction with the Jordanian air force, the US Central Command said.

Aid agencies have said that airdrops are an inefficient way of delivering aid.
