Dropping aid into Gaza from the sky is fast becoming a last resort way to get food to starving people.

Hamas has reportedly demanded a halt to air drops as casualties have grown, calling them "useless" and a "real danger to the lives of hungry civilians".
"We’re very aware of all the news, and we’re trying to limit casualties," said Maj Boone, the US mission commander.
