Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah's office said limited humanitarian aid would be allowed to be sent to Gaza from Egypt, following the request of United States President Joe Biden, who visited Israel the day before.
The first release after 10 days of siege of territory comes after the explosion at a Gaza hospital that left hundreds killed and put the strategic system in Gaza in great trouble.
The announcement to allow water, food and other supplies also comes after protests were held in a series of Middle Eastern countries after the explosion at the hospital and also after President Joe Biden remained for a bitter visit to Israel in hopes of preventing the expansion of conflict in the region.
While there have been contrasting positions on those responsible for the explosion in the hospital, the protests quickly spread as many Arab leaders said Israel was guilty.
Leaders of Hamas' militant group in Gaza blamed Israel for the attack. Israel denied being involved and distributed a series of video and audio materials and other data, which according to Israeli authorities show that the explosion at the hospital was caused by a Islamic Jihad group rocket, which also operates on Gaza territory.
The Islamic Jihad group has rejected such a claim.
More than 1 million Palestinians, half the Gaza population said to have left their homes in the north and the city of Gaza after Israel called on them to evacuate.
Missile attacks continued on Thursday across the entire territory of Gaza, including areas in the south that Israel had declared <x0).
The war, launched on 7 October after Hamas' militants attacked Israel and Israel pledged the militant group's destruction, has caused the highest number of casualties, for both sides, in the Gaza fighting.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza, led by Hamas, said on Wednesday that 3,478 people have been killed and another 12,000 have been injured over the last 11 days.
More than 1400 Israelis have been killed. An Israeli Army spokesman said on Thursday the families of 206 people thought to have been taken hostage by Hamas and sent to Gaza. / VOA/
