Parachute accident in Gaza.
There is news of a major parachute accident while delivering humanitarian aid in Gaza. According to the Associated Press report, 5 people have died and 10 have been injured when their parachutes did not open while trying to provide air aid in Gaza. “The parachute didn’t open and he fell like a rocket onto the roof of a house,” a witness told AFP news agency. Five people were killed in a humanitarian air crash in the north of the Palestinian territory, a doctor at Gaza’s biggest hospital said on Friday. One died and 10 were injured.
Emergency room head nurse Mohammed al-Sheikh told AFP that the casualties were taken to al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. Sheikh said the deadly airstrike occurred north of the coastal al-Shati refugee camp. A witness from the camp told news agency AFP that he and his brother were chasing aid by parachute in the hope of finding “a bag of flour”. Mohammed al-Ghul said, “Then, suddenly, the parachute did not open and it fell like a rocket on the roof of a house.” “Ten minutes later I saw people transferring the three martyrs and other injured people who were on the roof of the house where the aid packages had fallen,” the 50-year-old man told AFP.
Parachutes did not open due to technical fault
“During the airdrop to help Gaza on Friday, some parachutes did not open due to a technical fault and fell freely to the ground. They said they did not come from a Jordanian plane,” the source said. “The four Jordanian aircraft carried out the airdrop in partnership with five other countries and carried out their mission without any disturbances.” Referring to the five killed on Friday, the government media office in Hamas-run Gaza said the airdrops were “futile” and “not the best way to deliver aid.”
