"Airdropped Gaza Aid Tragedy: 5 Civilians Killed in Parachute Failure"

Five people, including two children, were crushed to death in northern Gaza after an airdropped aid package's parachute failed to deploy, with 11 others injured. Multiple countries, including the US, dropped aid packages over Gaza to help residents within the embattled region. A UN official warned that airdropped aid packages are not sufficient and should only be used as a "last resort," as more than half a million Gazans are on the brink of famine. The US military plans to build a temporary port along Gaza’s coast to distribute humanitarian aid, and the Israeli military has agreed to the humanitarian pier.
