International News: After 11 weeks of strict blockade of Gaza, Israel has given some relief due to international pressure. After pressure from the US, France, Canada and Britain, Israel has allowed limited humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. However, this relief is still considered insufficient. UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher said only five trucks carrying nutritional food for children arrived in Gaza on Monday. He described it as "a drop in the ocean" and said it was insufficient to reach those in need.  Risk of death due to starvation in 48 hoursIn an interview, Fletcher said, "If we are unable to provide help in the next 48 hours, 14,000 children may die.

Change in Israeli strategy 

Prime Minister Netanyahu said on Sunday night that Israel is providing some relief to prevent starvation in Gaza for "diplomatic reasons." However, he also made it clear that this relief will be limited to a minimum level.Earlier, stopping humanitarian aid was seen as a strategic pressure in Israel's policy, but due to global criticism and internal pressure, Netanyahu has had to soften his strategy a bit.
