On June 16, the Israeli military declared a daily “tactical pause” in its operations in southern Gaza to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid. The pause, starting from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., aims to allow aid trucks to access the Kerem Shalom crossing and safely travel to distribute supplies along the Salah a-Din highway. Coordinated with the U.N. and international aid agencies, this initiative responds to the severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, exacerbated by an ongoing military offensive against Hamas. The U.N. reports a significant drop in aid deliveries, with urgent calls for increased support as over a million displaced Palestinians face dire conditions.
