Israel to allow ‘basic amount’ of aid into Gaza | BBC News

Description :

Israel announced it will allow a basic amount of food to enter Gaza to prevent a starvation crisis after a 10‑week blockade. The decision, made on the recommendation of the IDF and to support its renewed offensive against Hamas, came hours after the military said it had begun extensive ground operations across Gaza. Israel faces mounting pressure to lift the blockade, which has barred food, fuel and medicine. Aid agencies warn of famine among Gaza’s 2.1 million residents, with footage of emaciated children suffering malnutrition.
