The US Air Force has released footage of American cargo planes airdropping humanitarian aid into northern Gaza.

In a joint operation with Jordan on Tuesday, the planes dropped 60 bundles containing more than 36,000 meals, according to the US military.

The UN is warning of a looming famine in the north of the territory, where an estimated 300,000 people are living with little food or clean water.

Humanitarian organisations have warned that airdrops cannot meet the soaring need for food.
