On Sunday, Israel announced a temporary ceasefire in selected parts of Gaza, allowing military operations to cease for 10 hours daily while opening new aid corridors. This came as Jordan and the United Arab Emirates dropped supplies into the enclave. Images of starving Palestinians have drawn global concern and criticism of Israel’s actions.
The ceasefire will last from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. in designated areas, including Al-Mawasi and Gaza City. While 25 tons of aid were delivered by air, local health officials reported injuries from falling packages. Secure routes for aid convoys will operate throughout the day.
Despite ongoing talks in Doha being stalled, aid groups warn of mass hunger among Gaza’s 2.2 million residents. International condemnation of the crisis intensifies as global leaders demand unrestricted flow of essential aid. Israel maintains that it is addressing humanitarian needs while accusing Hamas of exacerbating the situation.
