Mounting international pressure has forced Israel to announce 'tactical pauses' in its military operations in Gaza to allow limited humanitarian aid, including airdrops by Jordan and the UAE. Despite these measures, aid agencies and the UN warn that the assistance is grossly insufficient, with reports of widespread hunger and starvation deaths among Palestinians. The Israeli government denies there is a starvation crisis, but images and testimonies from Gaza show desperate civilians scrambling for scarce food supplies. Aid distribution remains chaotic and dangerous, with some airdropped supplies landing in unsafe areas or being sold at exorbitant prices. Critics argue that these limited efforts are a 'smokescreen' and call for a full-scale ceasefire and unrestricted aid access to prevent a catastrophic famine.
