Over 100 nonprofit groups have warned that Israel's rules for aid organizations in Gaza and the West Bank will block crucial relief efforts.

NGOs say Israel uses blockades and bureaucratic red tape to prevent needed humanitarian aid from reaching the war-ravaged population in Gaza

As France prepares to airdrop another 36 tonnes of aid into Gaza by next week, more than 100 NGOs have accused Israel of "weaponising" relief supplies. They say new registration rules have left goods stuck in Jordan and Egypt while Palestinians face starvation.

Hamas said it was prepared to coordinate with the Red Cross to deliver aid to hostages it holds in Gaza, if Israel meets certain conditions.

The local pause in fighting came days after ceasefire efforts between Israel and Hamas appeared to be in doubt.

Gaza’s Health Ministry says the territory has experienced its deadliest day for aid-seekers in over 21 months of conflict, with at least 85 Palestinians killed while seeking aid.

The Prime Minister’s Office has authorized Indonesia to airdrop humanitarian aid into Gaza next week, despite the lack of diplomatic relations.

The Israeli military says it struck an armed group posing as aid workers and using a vehicle marked with the logo of the World Central Kitchen (WCK), a US-based non-profit.

Israel claims the organisations were 'not authorised to deliver aid' despite many of them having worked in Gaza for decades
