U.S. Central Command reported that five pallets of humanitarian aid dropped by Air Force cargo planes into Gaza experienced parachute failures. The bundles, weighing between 1,200 and 2,000 pounds, did not cause any damage after landing in the water during the airdrop mission. This incident follows a previous malfunction that resulted in casualties. The cause of the parachute issues was not disclosed, and it remains unclear if preventative measures will be implemented. This delivery was part of ongoing efforts to provide aid to Palestinians in Gaza, where over 2 million people have been displaced by the conflict with significant casualties reported.
