Shocking are the images of the thousands of Palestinians flocking to the coast and rushing to retrieve humanitarian aid that accidentally fell into the sea.

The footage shows people falling into the sea and using boats to recover helping rolls from the air that fell into the Gaza Sea.

French and Jordanian soldiers say they have worked together to airlift aid to the Gaza coast.

Palestinians are running along the coastline to catch aid by the hundreds to have gathered on the beach in a setting that describes people’s desperation from the lack of basic needs.

It is now difficult for aid to enter Gaza, while Israel continues its military operations. Aid agencies say the situation has become more difficult as the Israeli army has closed Rafah, one of the only border crossings into Gaza. For its part, Israel says it is not restricting the flow of aid into Gaza and blames aid agencies for not distributing it effectively.

The UN says the population of Gaza is on the brink of starvation and deaths of children due to malnutrition have already been reported.
