Britain has air-dropped food into Gaza for the second time.

The Royal Air Force parachuted more than 10 tons of aid, including rice, flour, oil, baby food, canned goods and water, to the citizens of Gaza on Catholic Good Friday.

An RAF A400M aircraft took off from Amman to drop supplies along the coastline of the war-torn enclave as part of the international relief mission led by Jordan.

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said that the UK was doing everything it could to get as much food as possible to Gaza. The airdrop will provide more than 10 tons of food to citizens in need.

The RAF also dropped 10 tons of food in the area last Monday, according to CNN Greece.

Amid warnings of impending famine in the war-torn Gaza Strip, the airdrops followed recent ground deliveries of 2,000 tonnes of British food aid to feed more than 275,000 people in the Palestinian territory.
