Israel has resumed airdrops of humanitarian aid into Gaza amid growing international concern over starvation and famine in the region. The military announced plans for humanitarian corridors and possible pauses in combat to facilitate aid delivery, but fighting and injuries have continued during recent drops.
Aid agencies and international figures have criticized the airdrop approach as costly and ineffective, calling for the lifting of restrictions and safe passage for ground convoys. Reports from Gaza indicate rising deaths from malnutrition, including children, with health workers themselves suffering from hunger.
Disputes persist over claims of aid theft and responsibility for civilian deaths near distribution sites, while thousands of aid trucks remain blocked at borders awaiting entry. Calls for urgent political action to address the crisis continue to mount.
