Aid airdrops in Gaza have led to tragic consequences, including the death of Uday al Qaraan, a medic who was killed when a tangled parachute fell on him as crowds rushed to collect food. Eyewitness accounts and video footage reveal chaotic scenes, with people risking their lives and fighting over limited supplies, while parachute failures have been frequent during recent drops. Despite the urgent need for food, airdrops have provided only a small fraction of what is required, and many residents remain hungry. Critics argue that the method is dangerous, undignified, and does little to address the underlying crisis, calling for open land borders to allow more effective aid delivery.
