Gaza: Israel Announces Daily 10-Hour Pauses Aimed at Facilitating Humanitarian Aid
- The Israeli military began daily 10-hour pauses in fighting on Sunday in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, and Muwasi to facilitate humanitarian aid deliveries.
- This tactical pause follows the ongoing 21-month war sparked by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack that killed 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages, and amid stalled ceasefire talks.
- During the pauses, secure routes operate from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. for aid convoys, while air drops by Jordan, UAE, and Israel provide limited food packages amid severe shortages.
- Gaza's Health Ministry reports 133 deaths from malnutrition including 87 children, with nearly half a million facing famine-like conditions and only 69 aid trucks entering daily versus a 500-600 need.
- The pauses have increased aid flow but criticism persists over insufficient supplies and ongoing combat, highlighting the fragile humanitarian situation and lack of ceasefire agreement.

In the face of the worsening hunger crisis in the Gaza Strip, Israel has declared itself a "humanitarian" ceasefire, which is intended to enable supplies of aid via safe corridors.

After several months of extensive blockade by Israel, more aid supplies reach the Gaza Strip. In addition, Israel's army pledged limited ceasefires. UN emergency aid coordinator Fletcher welcomed the decision.
