STORY: A parachuted aid pallet struck and killed a 15-year-old boy Saturday (August 9) while he tried to collect humanitarian supplies in Nuseirat, central Gaza.

Muhannad Eid was rushing towards aid pallets as they were being air dropped when one of them crushed him, Eid’s brother said.

Reuters was able to confirm the location of the videos as Nuseirat from the metadata on the original video files. The date when the videos were recorded was also verified by the metadata on the original video files

U.N. agencies say airdrops are insufficient and that Israel must let in far more aid by land and open up access to the territory to prevent starvation among its 2.2 million people, most of whom are displaced amidst vast swathes of rubble.

The United Nations says more than 1,000 people have been killed trying to receive aid in the enclave since the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began operating in May 2025, most of them shot by Israeli forces operating near GHF sites.

Israel denies having a policy of starvation in Gaza, and says Hamas, which killed some 1,200 people in its October 7, 2023 attack and took 251 hostages back to Gaza, could end the crisis by surrendering.
