A 15-year-old Palestinian boy has been crushed to death by a falling pallet during an airdrop of humanitarian aid in Gaza, as global condemnation grows of Israel’s plan to take over the largest city in the war-torn enclave, where nearly a million people are sheltering.
Footage from Gaza, verified by Al Jazeera, shows several people gathering around the body of Muhannad Zakaria Eid on Saturday, near the so-called Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, following the airdrop.
Some people try to resuscitate the boy, whose face appears bloodied.
Other footage shows the boy’s brother carrying him away from the site and his father clutching his body at al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat.
