Killed by US aid: Five Gazans dead after being struck by airdropped packages

At least five people in Gaza have been reported dead on Friday afternoon after being hit by aid packages airdropped by the US, according to Israeli media citing Gaza reports.

According to the reports, the parachutes on the humanitarian aid packages did not open.

Aside from those killed, it has been reported that several others have been injured by the fall of the aid packages.

According to unnamed sources, US acknowledges that the the humanitarian aid was dropped in areas where Gazan civilians were concentrated, but denies targeting civilians, a conclusion swiftly rejected by Palestinian authorities.
