Five Gazans Reportedly Killed in Aid Airdrop Malfunction

Five people were killed by a falling aid package when its parachute failed to deploy on Friday, Gazan health officials and an eyewitness told CBS News.

The Gazans struck were reportedly sheltering at the Al-Shati refugee camp on the northern coast of the Gaza Strip. Two boys were among the five killed, and 11 others were injured by the falling package, CBS News reported.

Social media video posted on Friday appeared to show one package plummeting faster than the others with what looks like a closed parachute. The Daily Beast has reached out to the U.S. Department of Defense for comment.
