UN to Use 'Humanitarian Pauses' to Try to Reach Gaza's Starving
- On Sunday, Israel temporarily halted its military operations in Gaza, allowing aid convoys, airdrops, and distribution centers to deliver much-needed supplies amid the escalating humanitarian crisis.
- The pause followed months of warnings about famine risks due to tight Israeli restrictions and international criticism over Gaza's deteriorating humanitarian conditions.
- Aid delivery faced challenges including attacks on aid recipients, looting of convoys by Hamas or local groups, and deadly Israeli shootings that killed at least nine people awaiting aid.
- UN officials, including Filippo Grandi and Tom Fletcher, urged immediate food aid, noting 470,000 people endure famine-like conditions and WFP requires over 62,000 tonnes monthly for two million residents.
- The pause and coordination efforts aim to increase aid flow safely, but ongoing conflict and logistical issues suggest the crisis and risk of starvation persist in Gaza.
