Israel allows some aid into hunger-stricken Gaza

This browser does not support the video element.
Humanitarian aid is slowly entering Gaza through the Rafah crossing on the Egyptian border, amid growing international pressure on Israel to address a worsening hunger crisis. The Israeli military has begun air-dropping food packages over Gaza in coordination with international organizations. However, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and local civilians criticize this method as dangerous and ineffective, warning it can cause injuries or even deaths due to the chaotic scramble for limited supplies.
Displaced Palestinians, like Suhaib Mohammed, express frustration, saying aid should be delivered through organized channels like UNRWA, not dropped from the air, which often leads to violence and leaves most people without help. In Gaza City, charity kitchens are struggling to meet demand, and people like Aisha al-Zayd describe the dire conditions, with children suffering from severe hunger and newborns dying due to lack of resources.
Although Israel has announced daily "tactical pauses" in certain areas to allow humanitarian aid to pass through, ongoing bombardments in other parts of Gaza highlight that the conflict is far from over. The humanitarian situation remains critical, with civilians pleading for an end to the war and a more effective aid response.
