A recent batch of humanitarian aid airdropped into Gaza landed directly on a camp housing displaced Palestinians, crushing multiple tents, footage circulating online shows. Human rights groups have criticized the high-risk practice, insisting it should only be used as a last resort.
The video, said to be taken on Thursday, shows pallets with aid descending by parachute onto a coastal area of the Palestinian enclave after being offloaded offscreen by a military transport plane.
Several packages collide mid-air, with their parachutes entangling and pallets plummeting to the ground.
The packages land in a badly damaged urban area which has been turned into a refugee camp, directly hitting several tents while Palestinians rush to collect the supplies, footage shows.
