Israel has announced that it will allow some humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip after a three-month blockade. This decision was made after experts warned of the risk of famine. APnews writes.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that famine could hinder military operations in Gaza. The government has allowed the entry of “basic” food intended for the territory’s more than 2 million inhabitants.
It was not specified precisely when the aid delivery would begin. Israel is trying to control the distribution process to exclude access to aid to militants.
Recall that the blockade began on March 2, cutting off the entry of food and medicine by Israel to impose peace terms on Hamas. The war soon resumed, violating a two-month ceasefire.
On Sunday, Israel launched a large-scale ground operation in Gaza. Air strikes killed 103 people, including children. The main hospital in northern Gaza was closed due to the strikes.
