Israel announced the opening of humanitarian corridors into Gaza and the resumption of aid drops, following international pressure and concerns over mass starvation. The IDF stated it allowed seven pallets of food aid and resumed power to a desalination plant. While Israel denies accusations of deliberate starvation, the UN and others blame the country for the crisis, citing hundreds of deaths from malnutrition. Israel insists aid distribution is the responsibility of UN and international organizations, ensuring it doesn't reach Hamas.
