18 martyrs during the collection of aid dropped by air north of Gaza. 12 of them died from drowning, while 6 died from the stampede.
Airdrops of aid over the Gaza Strip began in early February, with boxes loaded with food being dropped by parachutes. Jordan began airdrop operations with the participation of countries, including France, and the United States recently joined these operations. On March 8, 5 people were killed and 10 injured when aid boxes fell on Palestinian gatherings north of the Beach Camp and on Al-Jalaa Street.
