Airplanes dropped humanitarian aid from the UK, Egypt and Germany over the besieged Gaza Strip on Sunday (April 21).

The devastated Palestinian enclave faces famine and widespread disease, six months after Israel's air and ground campaign began.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Thursday (April 18) that Israel's commitments to improve aid access in the Gaza Strip have had limited and sometimes no impact, as he pushed for urgent, meaningful and measurable progress to avert famine.

The United Nations has long complained of obstacles to getting aid in and distributing it throughout Gaza during the six-month-old war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which rules the enclave of 2.3 million people.

Israel recently reopened the Erez crossing into northern Gaza and allowed the temporary use of Ashdod port in southern Israel after U.S. President Joe Biden demanded steps to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying conditions could be placed on U.S. support for Israel if it did not act.
