Officials from Gaza’s Hamas-run Ministry of Health and an eye witness told CBS News that five people were killed Friday by an aid airdrop package when at least one parachute failed to properly deploy and a parcel fell on them.
The U.S., Jordan, Egypt, France, the Netherlands and Belgium dropped aid over Gaza Friday in an attempt to get supplies, including desperately needed food, to residents amid an ever-worsening humanitarian crisis there.
Video posted on social media showed a large cluster of aid parcels suspended from parachutes drifting through the sky but appearing to get tangled before one, with its chute deployed but not fully opened, drops much more quickly than the rest.
“All those concerned about the situation in Gaza should put pressure on Israeli government to grant unimpeded humanitarian land access & not blocking convoys,” the European Union’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Thursday, calling the airdrops “good but insufficient.”
Two U.S. officials told CBS News the current plan is for the pier to be installed by the U.S. Army’s 7th Transportation Brigade, based at Ft. Story, Virginia.
Haiat said Israel would “continue the fight against Hamas — an organization that calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and carried out the 7 October massacre — until its elimination and the return of all the hostages,” while also continuing to facilitate the provision of humanitarian aid in Gaza “in accordance with the rules of war and in coordination with the United States and our allies around the world.”
