Israel announced it will permit a limited amount of humanitarian aid into Gaza. This decision comes after a nearly three-month blockade. Global food security experts had warned of potential famine.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated a "starvation crisis" could jeopardize Israel's military offensive. His Cabinet approved allowing a "basic" amount of food into the territory. The territory houses over 2 million people.
The exact timing and method of aid delivery remain unclear. The Israeli military body overseeing aid has not commented. Israel aims to implement a new aid system, facing objections from aid workers.
