At least five people have been killed and an unknown number injured by aid packages dropped from aircraft into Gaza today, the enclave's civil defense has said.
"There were 5 martyrs and a number of injuries as a result of civilian aircraft incorrectly dropping aid, which fell on the heads and homes of citizens northwest of Gaza City this afternoon," a spokesman for Gaza's Civil Defense said.
NBC News has not independently verified the claims.
The United States has been delivering food and other aid to Gaza via the air, as have allies, including Jordan. It is not known which country dropped the parcels that led to today's incident.
