Earlier, aid agencies criticised Israel's airdrop plan arguing it would deliver very little and and endanger civilian lives.

Israel's military announced that airdrops of aid would begin Saturday night in Gaza, and humanitarian corridors will be established for United Nations convoys, after increasing accounts of starvation-related deaths.

Israel’s military said it fired warning shots to distance a crowd “in response to an immediate threat” and it was not aware of any casualties.

The U.N. says it’s unable to bring in enough aid to Gaza as it is hindered by Israeli restrictions and a breakdown of security.

Yechiel Leiter, Israel's ambassador to the United States, joins "Elizabeth Vargas Reports" to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and suggests the United Nations is responsible for aid not being distributed due to the NGO's desire to collaborate with Hamas,

A joint statement called for an immediate ceasefire and said that "withholding essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable."

Some of Israel’s closest allies have stepped up criticism of its restrictions on aid to Gaza, where doctors and aid organizations say people are dying of starvation.

Doctors and aid workers inside Gaza are reporting the highest levels of malnutrition in children they have ever seen as the hunger crisis reportedly continues to worsen.
