Humanitarian airdrops in Gaza have led to chaotic scenes as hundreds of thousands of displaced civilians scramble for life-saving aid, highlighting urgent calls for more organized and humane distribution methods. The resumption of aid airdrops comes amid months of warnings from humanitarian organizations of a worsening starvation in Gaza, where access to necessities has been severely restricted since Israel closed all crossings to the strip in March. Pressured by international outcry, Israeli military aircraft parachuted aid parcels into open fields over Al-Zawaida in central Gaza. As the supplies hit the ground, displaced civilians surged toward the packages in a frenzy. Chaos ensued, pushing, falls, and frantic scrambles for provisions. Some aid parcels were damaged on impact, while others caused injuries as they landed, emphasizing the need for safer distribution methods. Near the drop zone, a woman trembles-ill and frantic, as she searches for her missing children who had run after the falling supplies. Displaced Palestinians report being forced to resort to extreme measures to reach the long-awaited parcels. Despite ongoing airdrops, humanitarian aid groups warn that food reaching Gazans falls catastrophically short of preventing mass starvation. Relief organizations and United Nations (UN) officials stress that only reopening the border crossings and restoring the UN's role in relief efforts can ensure enough supplies reach the starving and displaced.
