Amid growing fears of famine nearly six months into Israels military campaign, crowds of people have been seen running into deep water to try and get aid

The US has said it will continue to airdrop food to Gaza despite 18 people dying in stampedes and calls to deliver aid to the besieged territory by road.

Six people were reportedly killed in stampedes and 12 others drowned off the territory’s Mediterranean coast trying to salvage aid packages. Hamas has demanded that Israel allow more aid trucks to enter Gaza instead.

The southern Gaza Strip came under intense Israeli bombardment overnight, despite international pressure for an immediate ceasefire in the Palestinian territory where famine is looming.

The children of Gaza have little to eat, have had to flee their homes and have survived nearly six months of terrifying Israeli bombardment."We hope to God that this war will end for the sake of our children in Gaza," he added.
