For months, the U.N. and experts have warned that Palestinians in Gaza are at risk of famine, with reports of increasing numbers of people dying from causes related to malnutrition.

The Israeli military Saturday said it wants to start dropping aid supplies over the Gaza Strip again and also wants to enable the delivery of food and medicine by the United Nations via humanitarian corridors.

Israel resumed airdrop aid to Gaza on Saturday, an Israeli military spokesperson said, a few days after more than 100 aid agencies warned that mass starvation was spreading across the enclave.
