At the Intelligence Towers area, west of war-torn Gaza City, Palestinians race to avoid being hit by airdropped boxes of humanitarian aid as they rush to collect the precious cargo. The coastal Palestinian territory has been devastated by seven months of war following Hamas's 7 October attack on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of more than 1,170 people, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures. Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed at least 34,683 people in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry.
