Israel's military announced that aid airdrops would commence in Gaza following starvation-related deaths. Humanitarian corridors will also be established for UN convoys. This decision comes after rising international criticism and warnings about famine due to Israeli restrictions on aid. Although the military claims operations against Hamas continue, many Palestinians remain displaced with limited infrastructure. Reports indicate health workers are severe weakened and there are desperate efforts by families to seek food. Coordination with international organizations for the airdrops is planned, but details about their execution are unclear.
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. Wounded men have described desperate dashes for aid under gunfire.
The military statement said airdrops would be conducted in coordination with international aid organizations. It was not clear where they would be carried out.
