The UN's humanitarian agency warns only a "trickle" of aid is getting into Gaza - Israel says 800 trucks are inside Gaza waiting for collection.

Israel will allow foreign countries to parachute aid into Gaza starting on Friday, Israeli army radio quoted a military official as saying.

Israel will coordinate airdrops of aid into Gaza from foreign countries in the coming days, an Israeli security official confirmed to ABC News.

Israel has given a tour of a large storage site within Gaza containing what it claims to be 1,000 lorries-worth of aid that the United Nations (UN) has failed to deliver. The move on Thursday intensified a row with the international community, which has become increasingly critical of starvation levels in the Strip.

Israel said Thursday that the United Nations and other international aid agencies had restarted distribution of some humanitarian assistance to Palestinians after collecting more than 100 trucks of aid from its facilities just inside the border with Gaza.

Aid was dropped into Gaza last year, but humanitarian organisations warned it wasn't enough, and in March 2024, five people were killed when an aid parachute failed and supplies fell on them.

Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says 33 people have died from malnutrition in the last 48 hours, including 12 children.

More than 100 charity and human rights groups say Israel’s blockade and ongoing military offensive are pushing Palestinians in the Gaza Strip toward starvation. Israeli strikes meanwhile killed another 21 people overnight and into Wednesday, according to local health officials.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Nadav Shoshani shared a video of "950 trucks worth of aid", which he says are "for international organizations to pick up and distribute to Gazan civilians". "This is after Israel facilitated the aid entry into Gaza," he adds.
