UN welcomes Israel's announcement of Gaza 'pauses' for aid deliveries

The UN praised Israel's decision to pause fighting in a south Gaza area for aid deliveries but called for more concrete measures to address humanitarian needs. Israel's military announced a local pause to facilitate aid delivery in Rafah, though challenges persist in getting aid to those in need in Gaza. UN agencies emphasise the urgent need for food, water, shelter, and healthcare in the war-torn territory.
