Airdropped aid continued to fall in the central Gaza Strip on Wednesday with desperate Palestinians struggling to collect what they could.

"We airdropped aid to Gazan civilians and we called on other nations to join us. Some have already done so," the PMO added.

Israel’s decision to allow Gaza airdrops to resume comes with risks and high costs, and experts say it’s not enough to meet acute need amid a starvation crisis.

"Hamas actively interferes with and disrupts aid distribution," Israeli Consul General Afir Okunis told Newsweek.

Famine is "playing out" in the Gaza Strip, a global hunger monitor said in an alert issued on Tuesday as international criticism of Israel intensifies over rapidly worsening conditions in the Palestinian enclave.

Last week, more than 100 aid and human rights groups warned that Gaza is at risk of "mass starvation."They signed an appeal demanding Israel allow food shipments into the territory. On Saturday, Israel's military announced airdrops of aid began in Gaza and that humanitarian corridors will be established.
