Israel's daily pauses fall short of easing Gaza suffering, says UK's foreign minister
Israel's decision on Sunday to pause military operations for 10 hours a day in parts of Gaza and allow new aid corridors falls short of what is needed to alleviate suffering in the enclave, Britain's Foreign Secretary David Lammy said. Lammy said in a statement that Israel's announcement was 'essential but long overdue', and that access to aid must now be urgently accelerated over the coming hours and days. 'This announcement alone cannot alleviate the needs of those desperately suffering in Gaza,' Lammy said. 'We need a ceasefire that can end the war, for hostages to be released and aid to enter Gaza by land unhindered.'

Merz calls on Netanyahu to provide aid to Gaza's ‘starving' civilians
Germany's chancellor on Sunday called on Israel's prime minister to quickly provide aid to 'starving' civilians in Gaza, in a phone call between the two leaders. Chancellor Friedrich Merz 'expressed his deep concern about the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza,' said a government statement. 'He called on Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu to do everything in his power to achieve an immediate ceasefire. He urged him to provide the starving civilian population in Gaza with urgently needed humanitarian aid now. This aid must reach the civilian population quickly, safely, and in the required quantities.' Faced with mounting international pressure, Israel on Sunday declared a 'tactical pause' in fighting in parts of Gaza and said it would allow the UN and aid agencies to open secure land routes into the war-ravaged territory. On Wednesday more than 100 aid agencies and right organizations warned that 'mass starvation' was spreading in Gaza.
