Facing mounting international pressure and reports of widespread hunger and starvation in Gaza, Israel has announced daily 'tactical pauses' in military operations in three areas of the enclave to allow humanitarian aid to enter. The Israeli military has also resumed airdrops of food and supplies and is opening secure corridors for aid convoys, including those from the UN and foreign governments. Despite these measures, aid agencies warn that airdrops are an inefficient and potentially dangerous solution that cannot address the scale of the crisis, as hundreds of thousands of Gazans face acute food shortages. The moves come after global condemnation and warnings from humanitarian groups about the risk of famine, especially among children. Critics argue that Israel's control over aid entry and distribution remains a major obstacle to alleviating the humanitarian catastrophe.
