1. Plane dropping aid over the Gaza Strip, zoom out
STORYLINE:
Humanitarian aid was seen being airdropped by international donors over the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, as Palestinians in the enclave continue to struggle with severe food shortages caused by Israel’s blockade.
Aid groups have criticized the airdrop method, saying it is neither effective nor safe in such a densely populated area.
They warn that much of the aid does not reach those most in need — with some packages falling into the sea or landing in the so-called red zones.
The latest airdrop comes a day after Hamas said it has accepted a new proposal from Arab mediators for a ceasefire.
Israel has not approved the latest proposal so far.
Israel announced plans to reoccupy Gaza City and other heavily populated areas after ceasefire talks stalled last month, raising the possibility of a worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, which experts say is sliding into famine.
