Overview

• The Israeli military announced daily “tactical pauses” in designated Gaza zones from 10:00 to 20:00 and opened secure corridors for aid convoys between 06:00 and 23:00.
• Military aircraft resumed humanitarian airdrops, delivering seven pallets of flour, sugar and canned goods supplied by international organizations.
• For the first time since March, a convoy of aid trucks crossed into Gaza through Rafah following the declared pauses and open corridors.
• UN agencies including UNRWA and WHO warn that current aid volumes fall far short of the estimated daily requirements and urge a ‘flood’ of shipments to avert mass starvation.
• Fighting continues in multiple areas of Gaza outside the paused zones, with reported strikes killing dozens of civilians at or near distribution points, prompting disputes over accountability and Israel’s intent.
