Aid trucks were seen entering northern Gaza from southern Israel on Thursday, Mar. 21 along a corridor that Israeli authorities said earlier this month had been tried as a “pilot programme”. A U.N. food agency has warned that “famine is imminent” in northern Gaza where 70% of people are experiencing catastrophic hunger, according to a report that warned escalation of the war could push half of Gaza’s total population to the brink of starvation. Israel is facing mounting pressure from even its closest allies to streamline the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip and to open more land crossings. (AP video: Alon Bernstein)
