Israel says it has airdropped aid into Gaza

Israel says it has delivered an aid airdrop to Gaza on Saturday night, as the starvation crisis deepens.

The resumption of airdrops to the Strip, according to the IDF, is part of a "series of actions" to "improve the humanitarian response" in Gaza and to "refute the false claim on intentional starvation", BBC reports.

This comes days after more than 100 aid agencies warned that mass starvation was spreading across the Strip. The UN's food aid agency has warned nearly one in three people in Gaza have not been eating for days at a time.

The Hamas-run health ministry says 127 people have died from malnutrition since the war began.

Western governments have ramped up the rhetoric on Israel - with leaders of the UK, France and Germany calling on Israel to "immediately lift restrictions on the flow of aid" in a statement on Friday.
