(250728) -- SDEROT, July 28, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Trucks loaded with humanitarian aid wait to enter the Gaza Strip in the Israeli border with Gaza on July 27, 2025.
The Israeli military on Sunday announced a daily 10-hour humanitarian pause in its operations in parts of the Gaza Strip, along with the opening of secure routes for aid delivery, amid growing international pressure over the deepening hunger crisis there.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that it would halt military activity in areas including Al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time (0700-1700 GMT) every day until further notice.
Designated secure routes will be open daily from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. (0300-2000 GMT) to ensure the safe passage of UN and humanitarian convoys, which deliver and distribute food and medicine, it added. (Photo by Gil Cohen Magen/Xinhua)
