5 Killed, 10 Injured As Gaza Aid Airdrop Parachute Fails To Open

"The parachute didn't open and fell down like a rocket on the roof of one of the houses," a witness told the news agency AFP.

A medic at Gaza's largest hospital said Friday a humanitarian airdrop in the north of the Palestinian territory killed five people and wounded 10.

The casualties were taken to Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital, the emergency room's head nurse, Mohammed al-Sheikh, told AFP.

Sheikh said the deadly airdrop occurred north of the coastal Al-Shati refugee camp.
