Jordan and UAE begin aid drops into Gaza as starvation continues
Israel announced daily 10-hour pauses in military operations and new aid corridors in parts of Gaza, effective from Sunday, to address the deepening humanitarian crisis.
The pauses will occur from 10 am to 8 pm in Al-Mawasi, central Deir al-Balah, and Gaza City, with secure routes for aid convoys also established.
Jordan and the United Arab Emirates conducted their first aid air drop in months, delivering 25 tons of supplies, though 10 people were injured by falling boxes.
Despite these measures, Gaza health officials reported over 38 Palestinians killed in strikes from late Saturday into Sunday, including 23 seeking aid, and 17 killed waiting for aid trucks.
The UN welcomed the steps but stressed the need for a broader ceasefire, as dozens of Gazans, including 87 children, have died from malnutrition, bringing the total to 133.
