Humanitarian Pause in Gaza: Israel Announces Daily Ceasefire for Aid Delivery

 


Israel Implements Daily Tactical Pause in Gaza to Facilitate Humanitarian Aid

In response to mounting international pressure and a worsening humanitarian crisis, Israel announced it will pause military operations daily for 10 hours in three key areas of Gaza—Al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah, and Gaza City. The suspension, effective from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time, aims to allow aid convoys safe passage to deliver food and medicine to the war-ravaged enclave.

Aid Corridors and Airdrops

  • Secure routes for humanitarian convoys will operate from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
  • Aid airdrops have resumed, with packages containing flour, sugar, and canned goods.
  • The Egyptian Red Crescent is sending over 100 trucks carrying 1,200 metric tons of food through the Kerem Shalom crossing.

Dire Conditions and Rising Death Toll

  • Gaza’s Health Ministry reports 133 deaths from malnutrition, including 87 children.
  • A five-month-old baby, Zainab Abu Haleeb, died of acute malnutrition at Nasser Hospital.
  • Thousands of Gazans are gathering in anticipation of aid, though concerns remain about safety and distribution effectiveness.

Global Reaction and Political Tensions

  • A coalition of 25 countries, including France and Canada, condemned the limited aid flow as unacceptable.
  • UN officials stress that humanitarian pauses must lead to scalable and sustained assistance.
  • Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir criticized the decision, calling it a “capitulation” to Hamas.

Ceasefire Talks Stalled

Efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas have faltered, with both Israel and the U.S. withdrawing negotiating teams. While the tactical pause offers a glimmer of hope, many Gazans and aid workers emphasize that only a permanent end to hostilities will truly alleviate the suffering.
