Ukrainians are recovering from several massive Russian missile attacks that targeted residential buildings, infrastructure, and energy facilities. In another war, in the Gaza Strip, the Jordanian Armed Forces are trying to help the local population with medicine and food by conducting expensive airdrops. This method is considered inefficient by humanitarian organizations, but is the last resort for food delivery.
