In a tragic incident, two Palestinians were killed in northern Gaza when an aid pallet crashed into a warehouse after its parachute failed to open during an airdrop. This has prompted Hamas to call for an immediate halt to such airdrops, citing the "real danger" they pose to civilians. With a looming famine in the besieged territory, several countries had resorted to airdrops to deliver aid amid severe restrictions on ground access. However, Hamas insists that opening land crossings is the only viable solution to alleviate the humanitarian crisis gripping northern Gaza.
