The victims were treated at al-Chifa hospital in Gaza. The accident took place in the al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City.

For several days, the United States and other countries have been carrying out air drops of food aid on the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian territory has been the scene of a major Israeli offensive since the unprecedented Hamas attack in Israel on October 7. The retaliatory operation by Israel, which vowed to annihilate Hamas, left 30,878 people dead.
