In the Gaza Strip, due to lack of land access, part of the humanitarian aid arrives in the form of air drops. On Tuesday March 26, Hamas demanded an end to these airdrops. According to him, several fatal accidents took place.
Every day, thousands of Gazans scan the sky and desperately wait for humanitarian aid. At the beginning of the afternoon, Tuesday March 26, a plane flew over the Gaza Strip to release its black parachutes carrying food. Humanitarian aid is far from enough. “People are dying for a can of tuna that doesn’t even cost a quarter of a dollar.”a man loses his temper. “We risk our lives for a can of beans and we share it with 18 people”deplores another.
18 people reportedly lost their lives due to the airdrops
Some risk their lives by going into the sea to collect food. In recent hours, 18 people have lost their lives, including 12 drowned, according to figures announced by Hamas, which is calling for these airdrops to stop. Hamas is demanding the opening of land access for humanitarian aid. Only a few trucks can enter the enclave, whose passengers are controlled by Israel.
