The Israeli army will resume airdropping aid to the Gaza Strip on Saturday amid a growing humanitarian crisis due to food shortages, the statement said.

"Following an assessment of the situation this afternoon, a series of actions were initiated to improve the humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip and refute the false claim of deliberate starvation," the statement said.

In this first air operation, which according to the statement will be carried out in coordination with international organizations, the army and Cogat (the Israeli agency that manages civil affairs), about seven pallets of flour, sugar and canned food will be dropped.

Aid distribution method criticized

In fact, dozens of Gazans died when some of these pallets were thrown, leading to scenes of chaos and stampedes.
