A medic at one of Gaza's largest hospitals on Friday (March 8) said that an airdrop of aid into the north of the besieged Palestinian enclave claimed the lives of five people and injured 10 others.

The casualties were immediately rushed to Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital, said the emergency room's head nurse, Mohammed al-Sheikh.

Sheikh said that the incident took place at the north of the coastal Al-Shati refugee camp.

A witness from the camp said that he along with his brother followed the parachuted aid hoping to get "a bag of flour".

"Then, all of a sudden, the parachute didn't open and fell down like a rocket on the roof of one of the houses," said Mohammed al-Ghoul.

"Ten minutes later I saw people transferring three martyrs and others injured, who were staying on the roof of the house where the aid packages fell," the 50-year-old told news agency AFP.

The government media office in Hamas-run Gaza, referring to the ones who died on Friday, said that the airdrops were "futile" and "not the best way for aid to enter."

The United States and Jordan are among the countries that have carried out airdrops in northern Gaza.

The situation in the besieged Palestinian enclave is dire, with over 2.3 million people displaced due to the ongoing Israeli offensive. There are also reports of people dying of malnutrition.

US military carried out fourth humanitarian airdrop into war-torn Gaza on Friday, said a US official on condition of anonymity, according to Reuters.

Indonesia's Sumatra island faced tragedy as torrential rains triggered flash floods and a landslide, claiming at least 10 lives and leaving 10 individuals missing, according to officials on Saturday (March 9).

Late Friday, a torrent of mud, rocks, and uprooted trees cascaded down a mountain, reaching a river that overflowed and surged through villages in the Pesisir Selatan district of West Sumatra province, as reported by Doni Yusrizal, the head of the local disaster management agency.

Rescuers recovered seven bodies in the severely impacted village of Koto XI Tarusan, along with two others in neighbouring villages, stated National Disaster Management Agency spokesperson Yusrizal. The search continues for the 10 still missing.

Yusrizal mentioned that 46,000 people sought refuge in a temporary government shelter after the flood and landslide buried 14 houses, with an additional 20,000 houses flooded up to the roof.

"Relief efforts for the dead and missing were hampered by power outages, blocked roads covered in thick mud and debris," Yusrizal explained.

Police have charged two roommates of a recently deceased man with corpse abuse for propping up his body to withdraw money from his bank account, according to authorities.

Loreen B. Feralo, 55, and Karen Kasbohm, 63, discovered the man's lifeless body on Monday and took&nbsp;it to a bank they had previously visited with him, stated Ashtabula Police Department Chief Robert B. Stell.

Assisted by an unnamed third person, the roommates placed the body in the front seat of the deceased man's car to make it visible to bank staff. They then drove to the familiar bank branch, withdrawing an undisclosed amount, the chief explained.

Stell revealed that the suspects had previously withdrawn money from the man's account with his approval while he was present. The chief informed the Star Beacon, an Ashtabula daily news platform, that the roommates utilised the bank's drive-thru teller window during the alleged incident.

The unusual scheme began to unravel when the pair left the deceased man's body at Ashtabula County Medical Center after the money withdrawal, hastily departing without providing information to hospital staff, Stell said. Subsequently, one of the suspects contacted the facility with partial details about the man, leading to the identification of the deceased as Douglas Layman, 80, according to the chief.

Upon visiting Layman's Ashtabula residence, officers learned about the bizarre bank trip from the roommates, Stell added. The suspects have made court appearances, but it remains unclear whether they entered pleas or obtained legal representation. The county public defender's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
