IDF Announces Daily Humanitarian Pause in Parts of Gaza to Facilitate Aid Delivery
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The IDF on Sunday announced a daily "tactical pause" in combat operations in select areas of Gaza to facilitate the delivery and distribution of humanitarian aid. The pause, in effect from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., will apply to areas where Israeli troops are not currently operating. In addition, designated secure routes will be open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. to allow for the safe movement of aid convoys transporting food and medicine throughout Gaza. On Saturday night, the Israeli Air Force conducted its first aid airdrop - delivering 7 pallets of flour, sugar and canned food provided by international organizations. The IDF also connected a power line to Gaza's southern desalination plant, increasing daily water production from 2,000 to 20,000 cubic meters, serving roughly 900,000 residents.
