Hamas appeals: Stop airdrop aid deliveries; The reason is terrible

This decision was made after officials and aid workers announced that 18 people had died trying to capture food packages in the north of the territory. Instead, Hamas is demanding that Israel allow more aid trucks to enter the besieged Strip at a time when the UN warns that the population there is on the brink of starvation due to the Israeli blockade.Fighting in Gaza continues unabated a day after the adoption of the first UN Security Council resolution calling for an &quot;immediate ceasefire&quot; in the bloodiest war in Gaza caused by Hamas&#39;s attack on southern Israel on October 7 last year.Jordanian, American and other planes have been dropping food by parachute, although UN officials and agencies have warned that such aid is far from enough to meet the needs of 2.4 million people and is far less efficient than overland delivery.Today, Jordanian, Egyptian, Emirati and German planes again parachuted food and other aid from the planes, and the Palestinians ran to catch it. During such deliveries, six people died in robbery, and 12 drowned in the Mediterranean Sea - announced the government of Hamas and the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor based in Switzerland.In a statement, Hamas demanded that such operations cease immediately and that land crossings be opened urgently and quickly to allow humanitarian aid to reach the Palestinian people.The UN Children&#39;s Fund, UNICEF, has estimated that much more aid must be delivered quickly to Gaza by land rather than by air or sea to prevent imminent famine.The spokesman of the fund, James Elder, conveyed via a video link from Gaza that aid packages are parachuted from airplanes in isolated areas, when there is no other way, and that now aid is within reach of Gaza, in Egypt, a few kilometers from its southern border.&quot;We have to use the road network,&quot; Elder said.After almost six months, the Israeli army continues the fight against Hamas with no sign of letting up and today it was announced that military planes attacked more than 60 targets, including tunnels and buildings where &quot;armed terrorists were observed&quot;.The Hamas Health Ministry announced that 70 people were killed early this morning, 13 of them in airstrikes around the town of Rafah in southern Gaza.
