Following a nearly three-month blockade, Israel's government has decided to permit limited food aid into Gaza. However, the discourse surrounding aid has been marred by misinformation on social media. A viral video falsely claims that China is dropping aid from the sky, which has been debunked by DW Fact Check. The video, showing packages with parachutes, originated from earlier humanitarian efforts in Gaza and does not feature any Chinese involvement. Concerns were raised about the video's origin and the accuracy of posted information amid a challenging context of blockades and urgent humanitarian needs.
The claims that China is delivering aid to Gaza via airdrops are unfounded; the viral video was misused, showcasing earlier humanitarian efforts from different countries.
Despite the misleading narratives circulating online, there is no evidence of airdrops by China; the humanitarian aid deliveries were previously conducted by other nations.
