Israel announces a daily pause in Gaza fighting to allow humanitarian aid, amid soaring casualties and ongoing ceasefire talks with Hamas.

This tactical move aims to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid and alleviate famine conditions amid ongoing conflict and failed ceasefire negotiations with Hamas.
