Israel to open Gaza humanitarian corridors
The military's statement did not say when the humanitarian corridors for U.N. convoys would open, or where. It also said the military is prepared to implement humanitarian pauses in densely populated areas.
The statement added that the military 'emphasizes that combat operations have not ceased' in Gaza against Hamas. And it asserted there is 'no starvation' in the territory.
Witness accounts from Gaza have been grim. Some health workers are so weakened by hunger that they put themselves on IV drips to keep treating the badly malnourished. Parents have shown their limp and emaciated children.
The Israeli military statement said the airdrops would be conducted in coordination with international aid organizations. It was not immediately clear where they would be carried out. And it was not clear what role the recently created and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation — meant as an alternate to the U.N. aid system — might play.

Gaza civil defence says 14 killed by Israeli fire
The territory has been in the grip of war for almost 22 months and now, according to a UN-mandated report, its two-million-plus inhabitants are facing an unfolding famine. Gaza's civil defence agency spokesman Mahmud Basal said six people were killed by Israeli fire near an aid distribution centre northwest of Rafah. The Israeli military said it fired warning shots at a group of people who approached its troops hundreds of metres (yards) away from the aid centre and hours before its opening. The civil defence agency said two people were killed by Israeli fire while waiting for aid near Netzarim junction, while four were killed while waiting for aid near the Wadi Gaza bridge. The Israeli army acknowledged opening fire near an aid site in the central Gaza Strip, where both Wadi Gaza and Netzarim are located, but said its assessment was that there were no casualties. The civil defence agency said an air strike near the territory's sole Catholic church, the Church of the Holy Family in Gaza City, killed two people. Media restrictions in Gaza and difficulties in accessing many areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify tolls and details provided by the agency and other parties. The war was triggered by Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. Of the 251 hostages taken during the attack, 49 are still being held in Gaza, including 27 the Israeli military says are dead. Israel's retaliatory campaign has killed at least 60,034 people in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to figures from the Hamas-run government's health ministry. Since the weekend, Israel has observed a daytime pause in military operations on secure routes and in built-up areas to facilitate aid delivery and distribution. The move was announced amid an international outcry over the deepening hunger crisis facing Palestinian civilians.

'Worst-case scenario of famine' unfolding in Gaza, UN-backed body says
Famine is now unfolding in Gaza, the leading global authority on food crises said on Tuesday, predicting "widespread death" without immediate action. "The worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out in the Gaza Strip," said the alert by the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). "Mounting evidence shows that widespread starvation, malnutrition, and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths. Failure to act now will result in widespread death in much of the Strip." The IPC alert falls short of a formal famine declaration, and the monitor said it would conduct further analysis "without delay". It follows an outcry over photos of emaciated children in Gaza and reports of dozens of hunger-related deaths after nearly 22 months of the Israel-Hamas war. The global pressure led Israel over the weekend to announce measures, including daily humanitarian pauses in fighting in parts of Gaza and airdrops. The UN and Palestinians on the ground say little has changed, and desperate crowds continue to overwhelm and unload delivery trucks before they reach their destinations. Gaza has teetered on the brink of famine for two years, but recent developments have "dramatically worsened" the situation, including 'increasingly stringent blockades' by Israel, according to the IPC. Starvation, malnutrition and death An area is classified as in famine when at least 20% of households have an extreme lack of food, more than 30% of children under 5 are acutely malnourished, and two people or four children per 10,000 are dying daily from starvation or malnutrition and disease. The IPC has only declared famine a handful of times — in Somalia in 2011, South Sudan in 2017 and 2020, and parts of Sudan's western Darfur region last year. The monitor's latest alert said famine thresholds have been reached for food consumption in most of Gaza, and for acute malnutrition in Gaza City. Essential health and other services have collapsed in the war-torn Palestinian enclave, where more than 2 million people remain. Hospitals report a rapid increase in hunger-related deaths in children under 5. One in three people is going without food for days at a time, according to the UN World Food Programme. "Immediate action must be taken to end the hostilities and allow unimpeded, large-scale, life-saving humanitarian response. This is the only path to stopping further deaths and catastrophic human suffering," the IPC alert said. The IPC's Famine Review Committee, which independently analyses and verifies the monitor's findings, supported the latest alert for Gaza on Tuesday. "Although the extreme lack of humanitarian access hinders comprehensive data collection, it is clear from available evidence that starvation, malnutrition, and mortality are rapidly accelerating," it said. Israeli measures criticised Israel has restricted aid to varying degrees throughout the war. In March, it cut off the entry of all goods, including fuel, food and medicine, in a bid to pressure Hamas to free the remaining hostages it took during the 7 October 2023 attack on southern Israel. Israel has also repeatedly accused Hamas of using humanitarian aid as a means of war profiteering and further strengthening itself, which the militant group denies. Those measures were eased in May, but Israel also pushed ahead with a new US-backed aid delivery system that has been hindered by chaos and violence. The traditional, UN-led humanitarian providers say deliveries have been hampered by Israeli military restrictions and incidents of looting, while people crowd around entering convoys. The IPC alert said 88% of Gaza is within militarised areas or under evacuation orders. "People's access to food across Gaza is now alarmingly erratic and extremely perilous," it said. While Israel has said there's no limit on how many aid trucks can enter Gaza, aid groups say the latest humanitarian measures are insufficient to tackle the worsening starvation. In a statement on Monday, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) called the new airdrops ineffective and dangerous, saying that they deliver less aid than trucks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said no one is starving in Gaza and that enough aid has been supplied during the war, "otherwise, there would be no Gazans". The army on Monday criticised what it calls "false claims of deliberate starvation in Gaza". However, Israel's closest ally now appears to disagree. On Monday, US President Donald Trump contradicted Israel's stance by saying that there was "real starvation" in Gaza. Speaking during a visit to Scotland, Trump said the US would set up food centres without any fences or boundaries, and also suggested that Israel could improve aid access. Separately on Tuesday, the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said the death toll from Israel's war in Gaza had risen to more than 60,000 Palestinians. Its figures do not distinguish between fighters and civilians. The Israeli military stated nearly 900 of its soldiers have died since the start of the war.

More aid dropped by plane over Gaza Strip amid worsening hunger crisis
Airdrops of food aid resumed in parts of Gaza on Sunday following Israel's opening of humanitarian corridors and a limited pause in fighting in the Palestinian enclave. Jordan announced it had conducted three airdrops over the skies of Gaza on Sunday, including one in cooperation with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It said its cargo planes had dropped 25 tons of food and supplies on several locations in Gaza. According to media reports, some Palestinians lamented their struggle to access the humanitarian aid once it had fallen to the ground, sometimes in militarised zones. The airdrop of food aid comes after Israel opened the humanitarian corridor to the besieged Palestinian enclave on Saturday night, and its military announced on Sunday it had begun a limited pause in fighting in three populated areas of Gaza for 10 hours a day. The pause, the Israeli army said, was part of a series of steps to secure routes for aid delivery in Gaza as concerns over surging hunger in the territory mount. It also said it carried out aid airdrops into Gaza, which included packages of aid with flour, sugar, and canned food. The situation in Gaza has drawn a wave of international criticism over Israel's conduct in the 21-month war, especially as images of emaciated Palestinian children in the territory emerged and hunger deaths began to circulate widely. UN welcomes steps to ease blockade but warns risks remain Meanwhile, the United Nations on Sunday welcomed the steps to ease aid restrictions but said a broader ceasefire was needed to ensure goods reached everyone in need in Gaza. UNICEF called it 'an opportunity to save lives,' and amid a fresh warning from the World Health Organization (WHO) that malnutrition rates in Gaza are on a "dangerous trajectory," marked by a spike in deaths in July. Experts have long warned of the risk of famine in Gaza, where Israel has restricted aid because it says Hamas siphons off goods to help bolster its rule, without providing evidence for that claim. That claim was also repeated on Sunday by US President Donald Trump while answering questions from reporters in Scotland about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Trump claims Hamas steals food aid Trump said, 'We're giving a lot of money and a lot of food and a lot of everything. If we weren't there, I think people would have starved, frankly. They would have starved, and it's not like they're eating well, but a lot of that food is getting stolen by Hamas.' His remarks and position contradict that of an internal US government review, which recently found no evidence of widespread theft by Hamas of US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza, managed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a private group. Alongside the controversial blame on Hamas, Israel also accuses the UN of not getting the food aid and delivering it to those in need, a claim that UN aid agencies rebuff, saying they often need permission from the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) to use travel routes for obvious safety reasons.
