  • The pauses will occur from 10 am to 8 pm in Al-Mawasi, central Deir al-Balah, and Gaza City, with secure routes for aid convoys also established.
  • Jordan and the United Arab Emirates conducted their first aid air drop in months, delivering 25 tons of supplies, though 10 people were injured by falling boxes.
