The United Nations says children and adults are now starving to death, and that more than 500,000 palestinians are on the brink of famine. Ceasefire talks between israel and hamas have stalled, making it unlikely a deal will be reached by the start of ramadan this weekend. Reports have emerged that five palestinians were killed friday after being hit by an air dropped aid package that failed to deploy its parachute. The bbc has not been able to independently verify the claims of Civilian Casualties. However, this social media footage, verified by the bbc, shows aid being dropped on friday, and a number of parachutes failing to open. The us is among Countries Air dropping meals to gaza.

That isnt to say that had israel gone to cairo, there would be an automatic ceasefire there would be others stumbling blocks. Hamas wants the withdrawal of israeli troops from Populated Areas of gaza and the citizens of gaza to be allowed to return to their home areas in northern gaza. And those are significant issues that isr
