What was meant to be a lifeline turned into chaos and heartbreak. A humanitarian aid drop in the northern Gaza Strip ended in disaster yesterday, leaving one Palestinian dead and several others injured.
Eyewitnesses say dozens had gathered in an open field, desperate for food and supplies, when a cargo pallet plummeted from the sky at a deadly angle. The impact sent people scattering, screams echoing across the sand.
“We came for help… we left carrying bodies,” said one survivor, his voice shaking.
Video from the scene — too graphic for some viewers — shows frantic attempts to pull the wounded to safety as dust and debris filled the air.
The incident has sparked outrage and demands for answers: How could an aid drop, intended to save lives, go so tragically wrong?
