The Israeli military continued fierce airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Saturday, causing deaths and injuries. This comes as aid supplies dropped from the air crashed down onto crowds of people, resulting in casualties for the second consecutive day.

A Palestinian media outlet said that an Israeli air raid pounded a refugee camp in central Gaza, killing at least 10.

Israel also bombarded the southern city of Rafah, where nearly 1.5 million people including evacuees from other parts of Gaza are staying.

One such attack struck an apartment building. Video taken by NHK at around noon shows one side of the building reduced to a pile of debris.

Israel had reportedly warned of the strike. The attack displaced hundreds of families that had been taking refuge in the building.

One weary-looking evacuee said this is the third time he had to flee his shelter, following two similar events in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Health authorities in Gaza say 30,960 people have died in the enclave since the conflict between Israel and Hamas began on October 7.

International coordination is underway to alleviate the humanitarian crisis there by delivering relief supplies by sea in addition to land and air routes.

But the Qatar-based broadcaster, Al Jazeera, says relief packages airdropped over Gaza on Saturday fell directly onto crowds of aid seekers, injuring multiple people.

The airdrop operation had caused five fatalities on the previous day, according to officials in Gaza.

Meanwhile, the Swedish government announced that it had decided to resume its financial disbursement to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.

The government said it took the decision "in light of the acute humanitarian situation in Gaza." The move follows a similar announcement by Canada on Friday.

Sixteen countries had suspended their funding for UNRWA in response to Israel's allegations that some staff were involved in a deadly attack on Israeli communities on October 7.
