Israeli army announces 'tactical pause' in parts of Gaza
- On Sunday, July 27, 2025, the Israeli military announced a 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 a total blockade imposed by Israel on March 2, 2024, after ceasefire talks broke down, during which over 59,700 Palestinians were killed in a retaliatory offensive.
- Designated secure routes were opened daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. for convoys delivering food and medicine, while the military began air-dropping aid packages containing flour, sugar, and canned food.
- The Gaza Health Ministry, Hamas-run, reports dozens dying of malnutrition recently and over 127 deaths due to starvation, including 85 children, amid warnings of mass hunger for Gaza’s 2.2 million residents.
- The pause and new aid measures aim to address the deepening hunger crisis, but criticism persists over aid restrictions and concerns remain about air drops’ effectiveness and escalating civilian suffering.
