Israel will permit foreign nations to parachute humanitarian aid into Gaza starting Friday, according to Israeli army radio. The move follows rising international pressure and reports from Gaza’s health ministry that over 100 Palestinians have died from starvation since March, when Israel halted aid. Though the blockade was lifted in May, tight restrictions remain, citing concerns over aid diversion to Hamas. UNICEF treated 5,000 malnourished children in Gaza in July alone. WHO chief Tedros Ghebreyesus labelled the crisis “man-made mass starvation,” urging urgent intervention. An official Israeli military spokesperson has not commented on the parachute aid report.
