Israel announced a daily 10-hour pause in military operations in Gaza to facilitate humanitarian aid deliveries amid growing international criticism over the humanitarian crisis in the enclave. The pause, described as a "tactical pause," allows aid corridors to open and has enabled the entry of humanitarian supplies by air and land for the first time in months. Jordan and the United Arab Emirates conducted airdrops of aid into Gaza during this period. Despite the pause, reports indicate ongoing attacks, starvation, and the detention of aid ships in Gaza's waters. Israeli authorities confirmed that the initial humanitarian shipments have begun to be distributed within Gaza following the easing of the blockade that had been in place since May. The situation remains critical, with continued international concern over the use of starvation as a method of warfare.
