The Israeli Defense Forces says it will hold daily tactical pauses in military activity in parts of southern Gaza to allow more aid to flow into the area, where international aid organisations have warned of a growing humanitarian crisis.
The Israel Defense Forces says it will pause its military operations in southern Gaza between 8am and 7pm each day.
The Israel Defense Forces said the pause would begin in the Rafah area at 8am local time and remain in effect until 7pm. It said similar pauses would take place every day until further notice. That was down from 168 a day in April, and far below the 500 trucks a day that aid groups say are needed. It says more than 8,600 trucks of all kinds, both aid and commercial, entered Gaza from all crossings from May 2 to June 13, an average of 201 a day. But much of that aid has piled up at the crossings, and has not reached its final destination.The Israeli military suffers its largest loss of life in a single incident in months, which could complicate the political situation for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Due to a lack of security, aid trucks in some cases have also been looted by crowds as they moved along Gaza's roads.
