After 10 weeks of a full blockade, Israel announced it will allow a "basic amount" of food into Gaza to prevent a starvation crisis. The decision comes amid mounting global pressure and intensifying military operations against Hamas. Airstrikes across Gaza have left at least 67 dead and hundreds injured, with hospitals overwhelmed or shut down. The al-Mawasi "safe zone" was hit, killing 22. Israeli officials say aid will be restricted to prevent Hamas from exploiting it. Meanwhile, ceasefire negotiations in Doha remain deadlocked as Hamas demands a full truce and Israeli withdrawal in exchange for the release of hostages. (PC: Getty Images)
