Hamas calls for an end to humanitarian aid drops in the Gaza Strip. The Islamist movement, de facto authority in the Palestinian enclave, judges that these operations are dangerous for the population.

According to him, 18 people have died accidentally in recent days due to these drops. The U.S. responded to this request, saying it is working tirelessly to increase the arrival of assistance humanitarian by land. The land route is considered the most efficient and safest by those in the humanitarian sector, says the White House.
