Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) says the air drops "might help" but notes that the "most vulnerable" in Gaza would still struggle to access essential supplies.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) -United Nations aid chief Tom Fletcher has demanded that Israel provide evidence for its accusations that staff with the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs were affiliated with Palestinian militants Hamas, according to a letter seen by Reuters on Friday.

Israel’s military took journalists on Thursday to the Gaza side of the Kerem Shalom crossing to show what they claim is humanitarian aid awaiting collection.

US negotiators blamed Hamas for lacking "good faith" while dozens of countries, news outlets, and humanitarian organizations all urged Israel to allow aid into Gaza without delay.

In a joint statement the countries call for an end to the war and the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza.

The head of the agency that helps oversee international aid deliveries to the territory had criticized the impact of Israeli policy on civilians.
