Ordinary Palestinians and international agencies say not enough food is getting into Gaza despite Israel allowing a limited amount of aid into the enclave.

Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in recent days as Israel has intensified air strikes, the Hamas-run health ministry says.

A U.S.-backed organization aims to start work in the Gaza Strip by the end of May overseeing a new model of aid distribution in the Palestinian enclave, but the United Nations says the plan is not impartial or neutral,

The United Arab Emirates said on Tuesday it agreed with Israel to allow delivery of urgent humanitarian aid from the Gulf country to Gaza, the state news agency WAM reported.

Palestinian officials say the first distribution of aid to enter since Israel commenced a blockade 11 weeks ago is not nearly enough.

Israeli air strikes probably killed Hamas’s Gaza chief last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday, as he vowed that his ground offensive would continue until the country controlled all of the enclave.
