Israel’s military says airdrops of aid will begin Saturday night in Gaza
- Israel's military announced on Saturday night that it would begin airdrops of aid in Gaza and establish humanitarian corridors for UN convoys.
- This decision followed growing reports of starvation and the killing of Palestinians near aid sites amid an over 21-month-old conflict sparked by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack.
- The Israeli military said it resumed power to a desalination plant serving 900,000 residents and claimed aid responsibility lies with the UN and partners to prevent Hamas from receiving supplies.
- UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini warned that airdrops are expensive, inefficient, may harm starving civilians, and will not reverse the worsening hunger crisis affecting Gaza's two million people.
- While the UN and allies prepare to scale up aid delivery, humanitarian groups remain skeptical that aid efforts will resolve the critical situation amid ongoing Israeli restrictions and continued violence.
