At least two Palestinians were killed and one other wounded after a faulty aid drop in Gaza City on Friday.
The casualties occurred following a botched attempt to drop humanitarian assistance from a plane, which ended up landing in a residential area in Sheikh Radwan, northwest of Gaza City, according to Al-Jazeera.
"People were waiting for the drops when they noticed they were coming in fast. So a group of people took cover in a construction site," an eyewitness told Al-Jazeera.
"One of the packages fell atop the site, causing it to collapse, killing and wounding people inside. I rushed to help the people inside when I realised my cousin was among them. He is now dead."
