The Israeli army, on the recommendation of its command, supported the government's decision to resume humanitarian aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reported.
"The basic food supply is taking place on the recommendation of the Israeli army in order to ensure that famine does not occur," the statement, quoted by the dpa news agency, said.
Aid deliveries have been suspended since March, a move Israel has cited as a reason for fears that supplies are falling into the hands of Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip and which Tel Aviv says is using aid to finance weapons.
Until the new control mechanism is introduced, deliveries will continue through the old channels. According to the Israeli news portal walla.co.il , the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and the international organization World Central Kitchen will be responsible for the delivery of food.
The decision was made against the backdrop of a large-scale humanitarian catastrophe and renewed fighting in the region. On May 18, the Israel Defense Forces announced the start of a large-scale ground operation in the north and south of the strip. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, 464 Palestinians were killed in the strikes over the past week, with another 130 killed on Sunday night.
