Media outlets in Gaza report that six people, most of them children, were injured when an aid package was airdropped into Gaza City and landed on a balcony, collapsing it onto the crowd beneath it.

Earlier this week, Gaza medics said a man had died after an airdropped aid package hit him on the head.
