The UN's humanitarian agency warns only a "trickle" of aid is getting into Gaza - Israel says 800 trucks are inside Gaza waiting for collection.

World aid groups have criticized Israel for the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Israel has denied the accusations.

Twenty-one months into Israel’s war in Gaza, the enclave is gripped by escalating scenes of death and hunger, with some killed while trying to reach aid, others dying of starvation and growing condemnation of Israel’s conduct even among many of its closest allies.

The World Health Organization says Israel's ground offensive has compromised its efforts to continue working, after its facilities were attacked.

When Israel launched its controversial US-backed aid plan for Gaza, it aimed to stop Hamas’s alleged profiteering from the seizure and sale of humanitarian supplies.

Two senior Israeli army officers have told The New York Times there is no evidence that Hamas looted UN humanitarian aid in Gaza, undermining a central Israeli justification for severely restricting food deliveries to over two million people and driving the population towards famine.

Deir al-Balah, Gaza Strip — Over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in the 21-month Israel-Hamas war, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Tuesday. At least 77 were killed over the past 24 hours, most while seeking food.

The New York Times and The Jerusalem Post report that Israel has no evidence of Hamas looting of UN aid in Gaza.

Israel announced a tactical pause in military activity in several parts of Gaza to allow humanitarian aid in following pressure from the international community to avoid mass starvation.
