Israel to allow limited aid into Gaza

KABUL (Pajhwok): Israel has announced it will allow a limited amount of humanitarian aid into Gaza after a nearly three-month blockade.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his cabinet approved a decision allowing a “basic” amount of food for the people of Gaza, the Associated Press reported.

Israel imposed the blockade starting March 2, cutting off all food, medicine and other supplies to Gaza, while pressing Hamas to accept new ceasefire terms.

Israel resumed the war days later, shattering a two-month truce.

However, recent airstrikes by Israeli have killed more than 48 people, including 18 children and 13 women, in and around the southern city of Khan Younis.
