Airdrop Failure in Northern Gaza Leaves Five Dead, 10 Injured
An airdrop failure in northern Gaza near al-Shati refugee camp killed five people and injured ten on Friday. A pallet of aid fell when its parachute failed. The US and Jordan conducted airdrops but denied responsibility. The Gaza government media office criticized airdrops as futile. Israel imposes restrictions on aid entry, and last week Israeli forces killed at least 118 people seeking aid. The US plans to build a pier on Gaza's coast, deploying 1,000 troops, expected to take 1-2 months.
