The Israeli military announced on Sunday a daily pause of its operations in parts of Gaza and the establishment of new aid corridors, after months of international pressure over a worsening hunger crisis spreading in the Palestinian enclave.

The Israeli military on Sunday began a limited pause in fighting in three populated areas of Gaza, as concerns over surging hunger in the territory mount.

Earlier, aid agencies criticised Israel's airdrop plan arguing it would deliver very little and and endanger civilian lives.
