Israel has announced a daily pause in its military operations in Gaza as aid deliveries resume and humanitarian concerns deepen. The move comes amid rising global alarm over malnutrition and mounting casualties.
Israel has announced a daily 10-hour pause in military operations across parts of Gaza in a bid to ease the growing humanitarian crisis, as aid drops from Jordan and the United Arab Emirates resumed and more than a 100 trucks prepared to enter the strip.
The military said combat would halt from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily in Al-Mawasi, central Deir al-Balah, and Gaza City. Secure corridors for humanitarian convoys will also operate from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The announcement follows mounting international criticism and alarming images of widespread starvation. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, 133 people including 87 children have died from malnutrition since October 2023.
Aid airdrops resumed on Sunday, with 25 tons of food and supplies parachuted in by Jordan and the UAE. A new pipeline project, led by the UAE, aims to deliver desalinated water from Egypt to 600,000 people along the coast in coming days.
But incidents continued with at least 10 people injured by falling aid boxes, and Palestinian health officials said 17 were killed by Israeli fire while waiting for aid.
The Israeli military has not confirmed the claims.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump, speaking from Scotland, said Israel must now determine its next steps following the breakdown of ceasefire talks with Hamas in Doha.
The United Nations has called for faster aid approvals, with UN aid chief Tom Fletcher noting some movement restrictions had been eased, but warned that "vast amounts of aid" are still urgently needed to prevent famine and health collapse.
Despite limited relief, Israel insists it will pursue "complete victory" over Hamas, while Hamas rejected the pause as insufficient, stating military operations have not truly ceased.
