France will begin air-dropping 40 tonnes of food supplies into the Gaza Strip from Jordan on Friday. The territory has been under a full blockade imposed by Israel for several months.

International airdrops of aid were continuing on Thursday, but many of the parcels were landing in areas that Palestinians have been told to evacuate.

At least 91 people have been killed near aid centers across the Gaza Strip in the last day, according to reports from Hamas and local hospitals. Israeli forces were reported shooting at the crowds. The deaths at aid sites come as international aid agencieswarn of dire hunger in the territory.

The UN says at least 1,373 Palestinians have been killed near aid sites since late May - Israel says its forces do not intentionally shoot civilians.
