A video is published showing an airplane dropping packages from above.
content with the claim that it is about humanitarian aid that China is continuing to send to Gaza, was published yesterday (May 25) on Facebook by a page named "Atalanta -Albania".
What is the truth?
For three months, Israel has blocked all humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, and there is no evidence that China has broken this blockade by providing aid.
As of the time of writing, this content has received over 3 thousand views.
Hibrid.info has found that this video It was initially published (May 16) on TikTok by an account named "globalpaulx", and then the same was published by the page "Atalanta -Shqip".
The information found by hibrid.info indicates that Israel from March 2, had blocked all humanitarian aid from entering Gaza for three months, putting millions of people at risk of starvation (see here).
Hibrid.info, using the automated search program, "InVID", has verified the aircraft that appears at the beginning of the content.
The airplane is of the type Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, produced and designed first for the United States of America (USA) (see here). During the research it was found that this type of aircraft was used in the past by the US to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza (see here). According to other information, China does not possess such aircraft.
Before this blockade, the last time China sent aid to Gaza was in February of this year. The aid was brought there by truck (see here and here). While after the blockade, on May 19, 2025, for the first time, humanitarian aid was allowed to enter the territory by truck (see here). Which means that during this period no humanitarian aid has been distributed from China via planes to Gaza.
To further confirm the veracity of this claim, hibrid.info has researched through the search engine “Google”. The results have found several articles from various fact-checkers who have addressed the claim and assessed it as false (see here, here and here).
A similar claim has been addressed earlier by hibrid.info (see here).
Analyze
The claim that China is sending humanitarian aid to Gaza by air is untrue.
There is no evidence that China has broken the Israeli blockade; the plane shown in the video is American and the last Chinese aid was sent via trucks before the blockade was imposed.
