STORYLINE:
Humanitarian aid was dropped by aircraft into different areas in the Gaza Strip for a second day on Monday.
A Jordanian plane and an Emirati plane departed from Jordan and airdropped humanitarian aid into the territory.
Israel had announced on Sunday that the military would pause operations in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah and Muwasi for 10 hours a day until further notice to allow for the improved flow of aid to Palestinians in Gaza, where concern over hunger has grown, and designate secure routes for aid delivery.
The pauses are part of a series of steps launched as concerns over surging hunger in the territory mount and as Israel faces a wave of international criticism over its conduct in the 22-month war.
After ending the latest ceasefire in March, Israel cut off the entry of food, medicine, fuel and other supplies to Gaza for 2 ½ months, saying it aimed to pressure Hamas to release hostages.
Fifty of them remain in Gaza, over half of them believed to be dead.
Israel has restricted aid to Gaza’s population of over 2 million because it says Hamas siphons it off to bolster its rule, without providing evidence.
Much of the population, squeezed into ever-smaller patches of land, now relies on aid.
Under international pressure, Israel slightly eased the blockade in May.
Since then, the average of 69 trucks a day has been far below the 500 to 600 trucks the UN says are needed.
The UN says it has been unable to distribute much aid because hungry crowds and gangs take most of it from trucks.
The UN World Food Program said it had enough food in, or on its way, to feed all of Gaza for nearly three months.
It has said nearly half a million people were enduring famine-like conditions.
Aid agencies welcomed the new measures but say they are insufficient.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Monday that 14 Palestinians including two children have died of malnutrition-related causes in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours.
