Israeli military says 10-hour ‘tactical pauses’ in certain areas will allow increase in flow of aid to territory
Israel has said it will halt military operations each day for 10 hours in three areas of Gaza and allow aid to come in through new corridors as it seeks to quell international fury over a growing starvation crisis.
Scores of Palestinians have died of starvation in recent weeks in a crisis attributed by humanitarian organisations and the UN to Israel’s blockade of almost all aid into the territory. The World Food Programme said 90,000 women and children were in urgent need of treatment for malnutrition and that one in three people were going without food for days.
