NEW DELHI: A medic at Gaza’s largest hospital said that a humanitarian airdrop in the north of the Palestinian territory resulted in the tragic death of five people and injured ten others. The casualties were immediately taken to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, according to Mohammed al-Sheikh, the head nurse of the emergency room.
This devastating incident occurred north of the Al-Shati refugee camp, as shared by a witness from the camp named Mohammed al-Ghoul.He and his brother were hopeful of receiving aid, particularly a bag of flour, and followed the parachuted aid. Sadly, the parachute failed to open, causing it to crash like a rocket onto a house roof.
Ten minutes later, al-Ghoul witnessed the transfer of three deceased individuals and several injured individuals from the roof of the affected house.
The United States and Jordan are among the countries that have conducted airdrops in northern Gaza, aiming to alleviate the dire conditions faced by hundreds of thousands of people after more than five months of war.
However, the government media office in Hamas-run Gaza said that airdrops are futile and not the most effective means of aid delivery. The United Nations emphasizes the importance of land deliveries and urges the allowance of more trucks to reach Gaza through additional border crossings.
