Following international condemnation of Israel, the Israeli Foreign Ministry announced that a humanitarian truce would be implemented this morning on Sunday, in civilian centers and humanitarian corridors to facilitate aid distribution in Gaza, according to international and Israeli media.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry added that it expects the United Nations to collect and distribute large quantities of aid “without any delay or excuses.”
According to the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, the planned humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip will begin on Sunday and will be implemented in several locations, including northern Gaza.
The newspaper added: “The ceasefire will be implemented in at least one location at 10:00 a.m.”
Numerous international organizations and countries allied with Israel have intensified their criticisms regarding Tel Aviv’s implementation of a “siege and starvation of citizens in Gaza, cutting off food and medical supplies.
This comes days after Western countries criticized Israel for the “brutal killing of Palestinians,” particularly at humanitarian aid distribution sites.
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor reported that the number of elderly people killed by the famine reached approximately 1,200, in addition to cases of fainting and temporary memory loss among doctors.
