Airdrops have happened but do they just make more targets for Israeli murders – Mark

Some Palestinians injured in a Gaza aid delivery disaster have said Israeli forces shot them as they rushed to get food for their families, describing a scene of terror and chaos.
Health authorities in Hamas-run Gaza said 115 people were killed and more than 750 injured in the incident on Thursday, attributing the deaths to Israeli fire and calling it a massacre.
Israel disputed those figures and said most victims were trampled or run over.
Four witnesses, who spoke at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City in a video obtained by the Reuters news agency, said they were fired upon by Israeli forces, some describing tanks and armed drones being involved.
Mahmoud Ahmad said he began waiting on Wednesday evening for the convoy that eventually arrived on Thursday morning.
He said hunger forced him to take the risk of going to the delivery route in hopes of getting flour for his children.
As the aid trucks came into northern Gaza he went towards them but, he said, a tank and a “quadcopter” drone began to fire.
