Israel has resumed airdrops of humanitarian aid into Gaza and announced the opening of humanitarian corridors for United Nations convoys, following intense international pressure and reports of rising starvation deaths, including among children. Aid agencies and the UN have warned that the enclave is on the brink of famine, with food, water, and medical supplies severely restricted due to the ongoing blockade. While Israel claims these measures are meant to alleviate the crisis, critics argue that airdrops are insufficient and call for a full lifting of restrictions and an urgent ceasefire. The UK and other countries are also planning their own aid drops and medical evacuations for critically ill children. Despite these steps, humanitarian organizations stress that only a significant increase in ground aid deliveries can prevent further catastrophe.
