Seven people have drowned in the Mediterranean trying to reach aid airdropped into Gaza, the Hamas-run territory's health ministry said on Tuesday.

Six people were also injured in Monday's airdrop, the ministry said.

Hamas said a total of 18 people have now been killed in drownings or stampedes since aid airdrops to the starving north of the besieged territory began.
