A tragic accident occurred on Friday while delivering air aid to the starving people in the Gaza Strip. Five people were killed by a cargo that fell from the sky because the parachute did not open properly.
This was confirmed by the Ministry of Health, which is under the control of the Islamist terrorist militia Hamas, at the request of an employee of the German news agency dpa on the spot. Videos on social media show the large aid package falling to the ground almost uncontrollably. Several people were also injured.

Facing the catastrophic supply situation, the US and other countries last Saturday began dropping relief supplies of food by parachute, mainly in the north of the disputed coastal strip.
There should be a sea route on Sunday
As the humanitarian situation for civilians in the Gaza Strip worsens day by day, pressure from the EU and the US should now bring aid to the location more quickly. An associated maritime corridor could open on Sunday.
The UN warns of famine in the Gaza Strip
The United Nations warns of widespread famine among the Gaza Strip’s approximately 2.3 million residents. The world body’s chief humanitarian coordinator, Martin Griffiths, wrote in a social media post on Friday that the airdrops were only a “last resort”.
“Anyone concerned about the situation in Gaza should put pressure on the Israeli government to ensure unhindered land access for humanitarian aid and not to block aid convoys,” EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said. He called the air drops “good, but insufficient.”
