Israel says it will open routes to allow aid convoys into Gaza

Israel's military says it will open humanitarian corridors to allow aid convoys into the Gaza Strip, after weeks of mounting international pressure and warnings of starvation.

In a statement on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also announced what it called a "local tactical pause in military activity" for humanitarian purposes in three areas.

It came after Israel said it made an airdrop of aid into Gaza of "seven packages of aid containing flour, sugar and canned food".

There have been growing calls for Israel to let more aid into Gaza following months of limited supply to the territory's two million people. Israel denied what it called "the false claim of deliberate starvation" in Gaza.
