Watch: Chaos as Gazans rush for airdropped aid; shots fired to control crowd
Heart Wrenching visuals from Gaza emerged as people scrambled to collect airdropped aid near Al-Zawayda displacement camp in the Gaza Strip.
Gunshots were fired in air to disperse the large crowd that had gathered to collect aid, as people outnumbered aid supplies, leading to chaos as seen in video shared by AFP.
“What was dropped was not enough. There are people who did not get anything”, said Ahmad Al-Quraan from Al-Zawayda shelter camp.
This comes despite Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on Sunday announcing a “tactical pause” in military activity in parts of Gaza, amid growing international concern over the humanitarian situation.
Meanwhile, Jordan and the UAE parachuted 25 tonnes of aid into the Gaza Strip on Sunday.
