At least five people were killed and 10 others injured when airdropped aid packages fell on them in the Al Shati camp west of Gaza City, according to a journalist on the scene.
Khader Al Zaanoun told CNN he witnessed the aid packages falling from planes over the Al Shati camp on Friday but cannot confirm which nation was behind the air drop.
Muhammad Al-Sheikh, Head of Emergency Care Department at Al Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City confirmed five people were killed in the incident.
Some of those injured in the incident and transferred to Al Shifa are in serious condition, according to Al-Sheikh.

I'm impressed by the names of CNN's correspondants. Not. They wouldn't be lying to us, would they? Even if they weren't, Stupid Joe, allegedly trying to do the opposite of what he's doing, is ringing up the body count. Pure 0bama. Let it flow.

CNN will blame it all on Israel of course. What were they dropping? Anvils? Oh, to be a Gaza peasant!

In another life I made airdrops like this. They descend at about 80 mph. These airdrops are for show since deliveries can be made by land or sea transport much more safely and economically.

Simple rule of thumb if you're at a drop zone. Get out of the way.

In Vietnam, especially in the early days, allied forces dropped bags of rice (usually 100 KG) to hungry villagers. They sometimes ran out to catch the bags—with disastrous results. Maybe this is a similar situation.

It's simple genetics. They're Muslims. They've been marrying their first cousins for 1,400 years. The ones that aren't psychotic are morons. They haven't figured out that if you're in an area where large heavy objects are falling from the sky, one of them might hit you and kill you.

Makes the Israeli explanation of people being trampled to death and not shot by soldiers much more plausible. If the Muslims can't even get out of the way of falling aid pallets, then it's no one's fault by their own.

Stop killing the delivery drivers and air drops won’t be needed. Morons indeed.

Any military load master could have predicted this as it occurs whenever pallets are dropped near civilians. People rush to the site and get crushed. The alternative is to drop it far away but then the warlords with vehicles get the food and supplies and profit from the airdrop. Just another example of Biden’s stupidity and desire to hold on to Michigan at any cost . They should name this relief effort “Operation Dearborn “.

Ever see animals at a feeding frenzy? They all swarm the freebies in order to push the weaker animals out. In order to do that, you have to be where the freebies are; like right under them.
