The airdrops have been criticised as unreliable and dangerous, with aid groups saying far more supplies could be safely delivered if Israel allowed it
A 14-year-old boy in the Gaza Strip was killed after being struck by an aid package dropped from the air, the local health authority said on Saturday.
The incident occurred near the Nuseirat refugee district in central Gaza, the Hamas-run health ministry said. The information could not be independently verified.
Following months of blocked aid deliveries, Israel has since late last month allowed limited airdrops and, to a smaller extent, land transport into Gaza.
On Friday, Palestinian officials said six people, mostly children, were injured in Gaza City when a falling aid box hit a balcony, causing it to collapse.
