Southern Israel, looking at Gaza Strip – 5 May 2024
1. Camera pans right, zoom into aid drop
STORYLINE:
More than 30 parachutes believed to be carrying much-needed aid supplies were seen floating down into the Gaza Strip on Sunday.
The director of the United Nations World Food Program on Friday warned that civilians trapped in the north, the most cut-off part of Gaza, had plunged into famine.
But an Israeli humanitarian official on Saturday called her assertion incorrect and said Israel had been facilitating the delivery of more aid.
Israel recently opened new crossings for aid into northern Gaza, but on Wednesday, Israeli settlers blocked the first convoy before it crossed into the besieged enclave.
Once inside Gaza, the convoy was commandeered by Hamas militants, before U.N. officials reclaimed it.
Some displaced residents of northern Gaza said they had been skipping meals and had not seen vegetables for weeks.
