An RSAF C-130 aircraft will conduct the humanitarian airdrop operations to Gaza out of Jordan.
Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan and Senior Minister of State for Defence Zaqy Mohamad speaking with SAF personnel at King Abdullah II Airbase in Jordan, on March 17.
The RSAF had on March 15 dispatched two aircraft – an A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport and a C-130 Hercules transport plane – along with 69 Singapore Armed Forces personnel to Jordan for the latest humanitarian mission. “Singapore continues to call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and urges all parties to allow for the immediate, safe and unhindered provision of humanitarian aid to affected civilians in Gaza,” the ministries added.
Dr Balakrishnan said Singapore was deeply grateful to Jordan for facilitating Singapore’s humanitarian aid in Gaza, and for inviting the Republic to conduct humanitarian airdrop operations of urgently needed supplies. Almost all of the humanitarian aid going into Gaza, which is under a near-total blockade, is currently delivered via the Egyptian-controlled Rafah and Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom land crossings to the south of the enclave.
