Muhammad Zakaria Eid, 15, killed by a falling aid pallet

Al Jazeera posted a video showing 15-year-old Muhammad Zakaria Eid who had been crushed to death by a falling pallet during an airdrop of humanitarian aid in Gaza on Saturday, August 9.

The video shows aid pallets landing fast and hard on the ground. It shows people gathering around the boy’s body and then the boy’s brother carries him away.

“Despite the famine and the hard conditions that we live in, my brother went to get aid that was dropped into the sea by planes. A box fell on him directly and he was martyred,” Eid’s brother says.
