Gaza Faces Double Tragedy: Airdrops Kill and Injure Amidst Famine

Israel’s actions following the ceasefire breakdown included a blockade of humanitarian aid, intensifying attacks and leading to a dire situation in Gaza. The US-supported GHF was initially tasked with aid distribution, but its security personnel, along with Israeli soldiers, opened fire on Palestinians seeking food. This resulted in the disbanding of the GHF, yet the suffering continued. Now, international airdrops are meant to provide relief, but the methods are proving fatal. The Gaza government media office stated that the aerial aid is worsening the famine, leading to casualties, with 23 fatalities and 124 injuries reported due to dangerous airdrop practices. Humanitarian organizations have widely criticized these methods.
