Spaghetti, sauce and skittles: US sends ready-to-eat meals to Gaza
In one video doing the rounds on X, a Gazan "unboxed" one of the aid boxes airdropped, finding skittles and combat rations, also known as MREs (Meal, Ready to Eat), among other sweets and valuables.

The rations given to the Gazans included chili with beans, chicken noodles, and spaghetti with beef and salt.
Included with the ready-to-eat meals were tabasco sauce, apple sauce, salt, and sugar - as well a pack of Skittles and ingredients to make a hot beverage, intended for dessert.
"Cool…cool…Gazans are doing good reviews for the MREs dropped by the US," commented one person who shared the video. "F***** MREs no less."
More than 38,000 meals on 66 pallets were airdropped over southwestern Gaza and the town of Mawasi. The White House has said the airdrops will be a sustained effort and that Israel was supportive of the operation.
