As the enclave administration noted, operations to drop humanitarian aid from airplanes are ostentatious and propaganda in nature, rather than humanitarian and practical.

“What happened today is exactly what we previously warned about, that they pose a mortal threat to the lives of citizens in the Gaza Strip,” RIA Novosti quotes the statement.

Earlier it became known that the delivery of humanitarian aid to the northern part of the Gaza Strip by air turned into a tragedy.

At least five Palestinians were killed when the bales were dropped from airplanes.
