Netenyahu says Israel will allow ‘basic amount’ of aid into Gaza

Israel will allow a “basic amount” of humanitarian aid into Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has said.

“Due to the need to expand the fighting, we will introduce a basic amount of food to the residents of Gaza to ensure no famine occurs,” the Israeli prime minister’s office said.

This comes more than two months after Israel imposed a total blockade on the besieged enclave.
