Pentagon denies aid drop casualties
Earlier today, we told you about reports that people were killed after being hit by aid bundles dropped from the air.
It had been reported the aid bundles’ parachutes failed to open, killing five Palestinians on the ground, and wounding several more.

A spokesperson said: “Press reports that US air drops resulted in civilian casualties on the ground are false.
