Israel Balances Gaza Offensive with Surge in Humanitarian Aid Deliveries
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – As fighting intensifies in Gaza, Israel has expanded its humanitarian aid program to civilians in the Strip, facilitating the entry of 93 aid trucks on Tuesday through the Kerem Shalom Crossing, according to the Israeli Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).
The trucks, coordinated by the United Nations, delivered essential supplies including flour, baby formula, medicine, and medical equipment. All shipments underwent security checks to prevent Hamas from siphoning off resources for terrorist activities.
“The IDF remains committed to enabling humanitarian support, as long as it does not empower the Hamas terrorist organization,” COGAT said in a statement.
The aid expansion follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to resume limited deliveries after months of suspension. The move is seen as a step to prevent famine and stabilize civilian conditions ahead of broader military operations.
A larger U.S.-backed initiative, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), is set to begin operations by the end of the month. The foundation aims to distribute aid directly to civilians through secure zones, independent of Hamas control. Israel has expressed full support for the program.
UN spokesperson Jens Laerke confirmed that Israel approved an increase in the daily aid quota–from just nine trucks the previous day to 100–calling it a “notable improvement” in humanitarian access.
However, not all Israeli leaders are on board. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir condemned the expanded aid deliveries as “a grave error,” warning they could prolong the war and weaken leverage in hostage negotiations. Other right-wing lawmakers echoed concerns, with Likud MK Moshe Passal insisting that recovery discussions should only begin “after Hamas is eradicated.”
Despite political friction, the Israeli government affirmed it will maintain its dual-track approach–military pressure on Hamas and humanitarian assistance to civilians–until the new aid infrastructure is fully operational.
