Israel has begun what it calls a tactical daily pause in military operations in parts of Gaza.
Starting today,
Israel says it will halt military activity for 10 hours and establish new corridors for food aid.
Last night, Israel began airdropping aid into Gaza.
NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports the moves following an international outcry as famine conditions in Gaza worsened.
The IDF says the humanitarian airdrop operation will be carried out in coordination with international aid organizations.
The airdrop will include pallets of supplies, flour,
sugar, and canned food provided by international partners.
The Israeli army said it will also facilitate the expansion of water desalination in the Gaza Strip by connecting the desalination plant to Israeli electricity.
The Israeli government has come under increasing international pressure and has been accused of withholding aid to Gaza.
