Israel Launches Daily Pauses and Airdrops to Ease Gaza Hunger Crisis
- On July 27, 2025, Israel announced a tactical pause from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, and Muwasi to allow humanitarian aid delivery.
- The pause followed a 21-month conflict and restrictions limiting aid entry, leading to severe hunger among Gaza's more than 2 million residents.
- During the pause, over 120 UN and aid agency trucks distributed food, and Jordan, Egypt, and the UAE also delivered aid by land, air, and airdrops, though airdrops deliver far less and pose safety risks.
- Jean Guy Vataux, coordinator for Médecins Sans Frontières in Gaza, criticized airdrops as unsafe and unreliable, arguing they compel individuals to jeopardize their safety to obtain food. Meanwhile, Israel denies implementing any policy aimed at starving the population and states that it has provided 1.9 million tons of humanitarian assistance since the conflict began in October 2023.
- The pause and aid deliveries temporarily eased hunger concerns but underscored ongoing challenges, as NGOs face access difficulties and critics call for the full lifting of the blockade to prevent starvation.
