Israel has started a “tactical pause” in fighting in Gaza amid mass starvation concerns, the country’s military said Sunday.
“In accordance with directives from the political echelon, and as part of the IDF’s ongoing effort, led by COGAT, to increase the scale of humanitarian aid entering Gaza, a local tactical pause in military activity will take place for humanitarian purposes from 10:00 to 20:00, starting today (Sunday),” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a post on the social platform X Sunday.
According to The Associated Press, there have been warnings in recent months from food experts about Gaza facing famine, with aid being limited by the Israelis.
Australia’s government said on Friday that the humanitarian situation in Gaza was “beyond” the world’s “worst fears,” amid reports of mass starvation and disease throughout the territory.
“The situation in Gaza has gone beyond the world’s worst fears. The position of the Australian Government is clear: every innocent life matters,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said in a statement. “Every Israeli. Every Palestinian. This conflict has stolen far too many innocent lives.”
