Israel is facing mounting international pressure over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where thousands are starving to death. The military has announced plans to allow “humanitarian pauses” in fighting and open corridors for UN convoys to deliver aid. However, this move comes amid controversy over airdrops by foreign groups, which have been criticized as inefficient and dangerous.
Critics argue that the aid drops are expensive and do not reach those who need it most. Humanitarian groups have called for alternative methods, such as ground deliveries or food imports through ports. The United Nations has also expressed concerns over the delivery of aid to Gaza.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing protests at home, with families rallying against the government’s failure to secure the release of Israeli hostages. The US and Israel withdrew their ceasefire negotiators earlier this week, blaming Hamas for the diplomatic breakdown.
