Israel-Hamas War: Parachute fails to open during Gaza aid airdrop | 5 dead, many injured | Oneindia
Tragedy struck Gaza as a humanitarian airdrop turned fatal, claiming the lives of five individuals and leaving ten others wounded.
The incident occurred on Friday morning near the al-Shati refugee camp, a region already ravaged by hardship.
Witnesses recounted how a pallet of aid, intended to provide relief to those in desperate need, went awry when its parachute malfunctioned, sending the parcel crashing down on a group of individuals ranging from men to children, all eagerly seeking sustenance and supplies.
Among the ruins of their homes in northern Gaza, where basic amenities are scarce, hundreds of thousands face the looming threat of famine.
The injured were swiftly transported to Gaza City's al-Shifa hospital for urgent medical attention.
Israel denies placing restrictions on aid entering Gaza and instead blames UN agencies for failing to retrieve it, while its own figures show a significant drop in the number of daily truck deliveries.

Tensions in the Red Sea escalated dramatically as Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeted the Panama-flagged bulk carrier Anadolu S with two missile strikes in a matter of hours. The first attack occurred late Sunday night, narrowly missing the vessel's stern. Despite warnings, the ship continued its course, prompting a second strike the following day, landing just a nautical mile away.
While no casualties or damage were reported, the incident highlights the Houthis' growing maritime campaign, which they claim is in solidarity with Gaza. The Bahrain-based Combined Task Force confirmed the strikes, raising concerns over shipping safety in the region. This bold assault underscores the escalating risks for international vessels navigating the Red Sea amid intensifying regional tensions.

The ICC's charges against the Israeli leaders, including crimes against humanity and war crimes, have sparked a wave of criticism from Israel and the U.S., with both sides rejecting the court's jurisdiction.
