Israel's military says airdrops of aid will begin Saturday night in Gaza, and humanitarian corridors will be established for United Nations convoys.
Gaza's population of more than two million people is facing severe shortages of food and other essentials after some 21 months of war - particularly after Israel enacted a more than two-month-long blockade of the embattled Strip from March until May.
The UN previously condemned Israel's 'weaponisation of food' in Gaza, labelling it a war crime, and on Monday the UK, France and more than twenty other Western-aligned countries issued labelling Israel's operations 'unacceptable'.
On Saturday, The IDF announced airdrops would 'include seven pallets of aid containing flour, sugar and canned food to be provided by international organizations'.
They have yet to outline when the humanitarian corridors for U.N. convoys would open, or where. It also said the military is prepared to implement humanitarian pauses in densely populated areas.
