Israel announced a 10-hour daily pause in military operations in Gaza, enabling new aid corridors amid international criticism and ongoing conflict. The humanitarian crisis continues, with the death toll rising and ceasefire talks with Hamas stalled.

World leaders and international aid organizations have been issuing escalating warnings about famine in the war-torn region.

Israel declared a “tactical pause” in fighting in parts of Gaza on Sunday and said it would allow the UN and aid agencies to open secure land routes to tackle a deepening hunger crisis.

Carney said Israel's control of aid distribution must be replaced by "comprehensive provision" of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations.

This landmark move came amid the snowballing global outrage over the "man-made" mass starvation in Gaza caused by Israel's blockade on aid into the enclave. Another 10 people died overnight from famine, pushing the total number of people starved to death to 111, the Gaza health ministry said Thursday, noting most of them have died in recent weeks.

The PM said Israel has “quite clearly” breached international law through its treatment of civilians in Gaza, stating “a one-year-old boy is not a Hamas fighter”.
