Israel-Hamas: 12 people drown while trying to reach supplies air dropped onto Gaza beach
Twelve people have drowned trying to reach aid dropped by plane off a Gaza beach, Palestinian health authorities said Tuesday, amid growing fears of famine nearly six months after Israel launched its military campaign against Hamas.
Video of the air drop obtained by Reuters showed crowds of people running towards the beach in Beit Lahia, in north Gaza.
It is the latest in a string of incidents involving deaths during aid deliveries in the crowded Palestinian enclave.
Meanwhile, amid fears of a looming famine, a spokesperson for a United Nations (UN) humanitarian office called on Israel to revoke an apparent ban on food deliveries to northern Gaza from the UN Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNWRA).
“The decision must be revoked,” OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke said during a UN briefing in Geneva.
“You cannot claim to adhere to these international provisions of law when you block UNRWA food convoys.”
UNRWA’s head said Sunday that Israel had informed it that it will no longer approve its food convoys to north Gaza, after four such requests were denied since March 21.

So it’s not Hamas hunger game plan?
Schön ins Salzwasser verteilen damit die Nahrungsmitteln unbrauchbar werden 😢😢😢
I bet gonna blame IDF for this too…lol
Palestinian health authorities need to stop giving their hospitals to Hamas.
Disgusting and shameful.

Will Hamas release the hostages to end this war immediately?

Survival instinct is a big joke but only to you
Barbaric! Starving people now made to swim for food.
You can't swim so you run into the ocean and drown. Hahaha
It's funny how the aid is deliberately dropped into the sea. They should've made it even further out to sea if it's a game of who can swim far enough and back. Next make the aid float hovering in the air to see who can pop it down. Ridiculous.
They really are so stupid.

@@user-lc9xt7sc1h I think you know but let me spell it out anyways. Throwing aid into the water when people barely have energy to walk due to the already cruel starvation imposed on them is cruel. Obviously swimming or wading through water will be much more difficult and has led to some of them drowning. They are thrown food in a dehumanizing way which could all be avoided if Israel and some of it's citizens would stop blocking aid from crossing the border into Gaza. Better still, none of this would be happening if Israel would not be Jen O'Siding an innocent population as an excuse for defense.

So you are saying shame on Israel and the US for giving Aide to the Gazians? What other friends do the Gazians have? Nobody is even accepting them as refugees…..I wonder why that is? 🤔
