Kamel Qoraan and Momen Abu Etayya, tried to get food airdropped into the sea

The Associated Press filmed Gazans trying to retrieve air-dropped aid packages that fell into the Mediterranean. Some of it was still usable but much of it was ruined by the seawater.

Kamal Qoraan: “The flour bag was drenched with water. Either you open the crossings for us, for aid to enter, or don’t drop aid like that. This is humiliation, not aid.”

Momen Abuy Etayya: "When I came to try and fetch the aid in the sea, I almost drowned. I only did that for my boy as he made me swear to bring him something to eat. I threw myself in the ocean to death just to bring him something. I was only able to bring him three biscuit packets."
