"'This is what our child died for — beans.' Family devastated after aid airdrop kills 3-year-old"
"As the humanitarian crisis has deepened in Gaza and overland routes are cut off, countries have used airdrops as a means of getting vital food aid into the enclave. But aid groups say Israel’s allies need to convince Israeli officials to loosen their tight siege on aid entering the enclave by ground to make a significant impact.
Palestinians in Gaza have described the experience of receiving airdrops as dangerous and humiliating, while also voicing practical concerns about the content of the deliveries. Some packages airdropped into Gaza have contained meals which needed to be heated by microwave, for example, a representative for the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians previously told CNN."
