ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT (AP) — Two Associated Press journalists aboard an American aid flight to Gaza observed the wreckage to the strip’s north as the plane delivered much-needed food aid to Palestinians below. The flight is part of a recent international effort to surge food and medical supplies to the north of the besieged enclave, where desperation mounts each day as Israel’s offensive on Gaza continues. UN officials and rights groups say the method is not best practice when it comes to distributing much-needed aid. The war has killed at least 31,500 Palestinians and pushed a quarter of the strip’s population to the brink of starvation. Getting aid in by land has been no easy feat owing to significant political and security concerns.
