US EditionIsrael Launches Daily Pauses and Airdrops to Ease Gaza Hunger Crisis
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 28 – Israel will pause daily fighting for 10 hours in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, and Muwasi to allow increased humanitarian aid amid severe malnutrition affecting nearly one in five children, UN says.
- On July 27, Israel declared a daily tactical pause in fighting from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, and Al-Mawasi to allow humanitarian aid delivery.
- The pause followed months of a blockade that limited aid, with many NGOs unable to deliver assistance and widespread starvation affecting over two million Palestinians trapped in Gaza.
- Aid efforts include over 130 trucks entering Gaza, plus smaller parachute airdrops by Israel, Jordan, and the UAE, though airdrops remain controversial and risky because they expose civilians to danger and deliver less aid than trucks.
- Médecins Sans Frontières criticized airdrops as both hazardous and ineffective, highlighting that they compel individuals to risk their safety to obtain food. Meanwhile, health authorities in Gaza reported that 63 people died from malnutrition last month, with nearly two dozen of them being children under the age of five.
- The pause allows increased aid flow and may ease starvation temporarily but health and humanitarian leaders stress it must lead to sustained, safe access without restrictions to resolve the crisis fully.
