Israel's military says airdrops of aid will begin in Gaza, and humanitarian corridors will be established for United Nations convoys. And the foreign ministry says humanitarian pauses will begin Sunday.

The Israeli military Saturday said it wants to start dropping aid supplies over the Gaza Strip again and also wants to enable the delivery of food and medicine by the United Nations via humanitarian corridors.

Humanitarian aid groups have warned for months that Gaza is nearing famine. Israel, which controls the entry of aid into the enclave, has severely restricted access—tightening constraints even further since the collapse of the last ceasefire in March. From March to mid-May, no aid was allowed into Gaza.
