Aid drops from Jordan and the United Arab Emirates are underway in Gaza as Israel implements a so-called 'tactical pause' in some areas. Despite these efforts, chaos and violence persist, with reports of civilians being shot while awaiting aid convoys and desperate crowds swarming food trucks. Verification efforts have raised questions about airstrikes occurring in areas previously designated as safe by Israel. International pressure is mounting on Israel to allow more aid into Gaza, as humanitarian agencies warn of widespread starvation and deteriorating conditions. Calls for more effective land routes and an end to the conflict continue from global leaders and organizations.
