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, APA reports citing CBS News.
The people were in the Al-Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza, and the incident occurred at around 4:30 a.m.
CBS News was told there were two boys among the five people killed and that 11 others were injured in the incident. The exact ages of the casualties were not clear, but those injured were said to be between 30 and 50 years old.
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.
