The Israeli army announced a daily “tactical pause of military activity” in part of the southern Gaza Strip during daylight hours to facilitate aid delivery. The pause will occur from 08:00 until 19:00 along a specific road. This decision was made to increase humanitarian aid entering Gaza after discussions with the UN and other organizations. Israel has been defending its aid efforts, but humanitarian groups have warned of a dire lack of food and essentials in the besieged territory. The World Health Organization reported over 8,000 children under five treated for acute malnutrition in Gaza. International mediators have been urging a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, but progress has stalled. The World Food Programme deputy executive director highlighted challenges in delivering aid due to lawlessness and conflict in Gaza.
