Amidst growing international condemnation, Israel has temporarily paused attacks in Gaza's largest population centers for ten hours daily to facilitate humanitarian aid delivery. This follows reports of mass starvation, with Gaza's health ministry citing 133 Palestinian deaths from hunger since October. While Israel denies widespread starvation, blaming Hamas for aid distribution disruptions, the U.S. withdrew from ceasefire talks, citing Hamas' lack of good faith. International aid organizations, including Jordan and Egypt, are supplying food and water to the besieged area.
