Sir Keir Starmer has said the UK is working with Jordan on plans to drop aid into Gaza by air,after more than a third of MPs signed a letter calling on the government to recognise a Palestinian state, BBC reported.

A small team of British military planners and logisticians is being made available to help Jordan get aid into the territory.

On Friday, Israel said it would allow foreign countries to deliver air supplies in the coming days amid mounting international concern about humanitarian conditions in the territory.

However, the UN and aid groups have consistently said airdrops will not get sufficient supplies into Gaza, while the falling crates can cause injury and chaos on the ground, according to BBC.
