YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Five people, including two boys, died Friday when they were crushed by an airdropped aid package that didn’t properly deploy over northern Gaza, Hamas officials and a witness said according to a report.

The package fell on three adults and two children inside the Al-Shati refugee camp around 11:30 a.m. when its parachute failed to deploy, officials from the Hamas-run Health Ministry and an eyewitness told CBS News.

Eleven others between the ages of 30 and 50 were also injured by the botched drop, the outlet reported.

Video shows several aid packages dropping through the sky from parachutes one descends faster than the others when its chute doesn’t fully open.

Multiple countries — including the US, Jordan, Egypt, France, Belgium and the Netherlands — dropped aid packages over Gaza Friday to help residents within the embattled region.
