The family was eating breakfast when pallets dropped from airplanes and careened towards the displacement area, the grandfather of the boy, who is also named Sami Ayyad, told CNN. Several family members attempted to take cover inside their improvised tents – but the falling parcel killed the three-year-old instantly, Ayyad recalled. Sami’s aunt and cousin were also wounded on their foot and face, respectively, Ayyad added.
That was the point of the temporary dock. Still didn’t do much when the IDF controls all entry points except the one overhead, though, and refugees aren’t living right next to the dock.

No, that wasn’t the point of the temporary dock.
Probably easier to just stop giving Israel weapons.
