Earlier, aid agencies criticised Israel's airdrop plan arguing it would deliver very little and and endanger civilian lives.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry announced a “humanitarian pause” for Sunday to allow aid to reach civilian centers in Gaza, where the health ministry says at least 127 people have died as a result of hunger.

Palestinian health officials and the local ambulance service say Israeli airstrikes and gunfire have killed at least 42 people in Gaza.

The focus on air drops into Gaza is a "grotesque distraction" that will not reverse the territory's deepening starvation crisis, aid agency leaders have warned. Israel's military said it would allow aid to be dropped into Gaza on Saturday night, while also announcing humanitarian corridors for UN aid convoys.

Airdrops of food have resumed in Gaza, Israel and the United Arab Emirates said, as deaths from starvation in the besieged enclave spread.

Israel controls almost every part of an aid distribution process plagued by bureaucracy, deadly attacks on civilians seeking food and a bombing campaign that has escalated civil disorder.

Israel will coordinate airdrops of aid into Gaza from foreign countries in the coming days, an Israeli security official confirmed to ABC News.
