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

JERUSALEM/GAZA, July 27 (Reuters) - Israel said on Sunday it would halt military operations each day for 10 hours in parts of Gaza and allow new aid corridors in the enclave, where images of hungry Palestinians have alarmed the world.

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.

The IDF plans to airdrop seven pallets of aid to Gaza Saturday, establishing humanitarian corridors as the U.N. warns of increased malnutrition in the region.

Israeli gunfire and airstrikes killed more than 50 Palestinians in Gaza on Saturday, including some who were waiting overnight for aid, according to local health officials, continuing a pattern that has drawn international criticism as the country’s “drip-feeding of aid” into the enclave continues to claim lives.

An analysis compiled by USAID officials says they failed to find evidence that Hamas engaged in widespread diversion of assistance in Gaza, ABC News has learned.
