Falling aid crate kills Palestinian nurse in Gaza

A Palestinian man has been crushed to death after a crate fell on him during an aerial aid drop over Gaza on Monday.
According to The Independent, Oday al-Quraan was waiting for planes carrying aid to drop their cargo, but could not get out of the way when the crates landed.
Israel has given permission for several states to drop aid into Gaza amid widespread starvation that has taken at least 180 lives since October 2023.
The besieged Palestinian territory has been under complete siege since the war began, but Israeli officials have strengthened the blockade in recent months, leading to malnutrition and what the UN describes as a "worst-case scenario" of famine.
