Aid drops into Gaza begin after Israel pauses fighting

At least 17 killed and 50 wounded waiting for supply trucks
Jordan and the United Arab Emirates have parachuted aid into the Gaza Strip as the humanitarian crisis in the besieged territory deepens.
Israel said yesterday that it would halt military operations each day for 10 hours in parts of Gaza and allow new aid corridors into the strip.
Israel has been facing growing international criticism over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, as images of starving Palestinians have alarmed the world.
Military activity will stop from 10am to 8pm until further notice in al-Mawasi, a designated humanitarian area that stretches along the coast, as well as in the central city of Deir al-Balah, and in Gaza City, to the north. The military said that, from yesterday, designated secure routes for convoys delivering food and medicine would also be in place between 6am and 11pm.
