Israel has announced new measures to ease the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, including the resumption of airborne aid drops and efforts to make land convoys safer. This decision follows mounting international criticism over severe hunger in Gaza, where deaths from starvation have nearly doubled in the past month. The crisis escalated after Israel blocked food deliveries and implemented a controversial aid system that forced civilians to travel long distances through military zones. Israeli officials say the changes are intended to bring aid closer to civilians and reduce risks to aid convoys, while some government voices continue to defend the country's policies. The humanitarian situation has drawn condemnation from global organizations, with calls for urgent action to address what has been described as a moral crisis.
