2024-03-09
Follow up to this story from yesterday, and see the comments here.
[MAIL] Five civilians were crushed to death by the multi-nation Gaza airdrop after a parachute carrying one of the parcels failed to deploy.

'We express our condolences to the families of those who were killed,' a spokesperson said. 'Our understanding is that this was not a U.S. airdrop.
“Someone else dunnit — dunno who.”
'As we said earlier this week, these are complex and tough missions to do because so many parameters have to be exactly right. We always learn from these incidents and try to improve.

'We take every reasonable precaution to avoid injuries, including limiting the weight of the pallets, identifying drop-zones in less-populated areas, and the sending of safety messages to the population prior to the air drop.'
