Israel will begin to allow some humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip in the next few weeks to avoid international law violations and future legal problems for commanders who take part in the military operation, the Ynet news site reports.
Israel halted the entrance of aid into Gaza last month after Hamas refused to extend the initial stage of the January 19 ceasefire and hostage release deal.
“There is no starvation or no beginning of diseases in Gaza, but we are about 40-50 days away from a situation where the food warehouses will be emptied. Last week there were incidents when Gazans broke into warehouses with flour we brought in and transferred them to Hamas control,” unnamed security sources tell Ynet.
