S'pore delivering more aid to Gaza, to conduct airdrop ops out of Jordan
The Straits Times
|March 16, 2024
Singapore is delivering its third tranche of humanitarian aid to Gaza, and will soon be conducting humanitarian airdrop operations out of Jordan.
The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) has sent two aircraft - an A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport and a C-130 Hercules transport plane along with 69 personnel to deliver the assistance, the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) said on March 15. Both aircraft departed from Singapore on the morning of March 15.
Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan will hand over the aid package to the Jordanian government during a working visit to Amman from March 16 to 17, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).
Dr Balakrishnan's visit reaffirms Singapore's strong ties with partners in the Middle East, which have allowed the Republic to deliver effective and timely humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza, said MFA.
