The Trump administration says its working with Israel to get food and assistance into Gaza as an international association of experts says the worst-case famine scenario is playing out.

JERUSALEM/GAZA, July 27 (Reuters) - Israel on Sunday announced a halt in military operations for 10 hours a day in parts of Gaza and new aid corridors as Jordan and the United Arab Emirates airdropped supplies into the enclave, where images of starving Palestinians have alarmed the world.

A new poll shows support for Israel’s military action in Gaza has dropped among U.S. adults, with only about one-third approving.

The Georgia Republican is the first in her caucus, which has generally rallied unconditionally around Israel, to use the word in reference to Gaza.

Since Israel’s offensive led to a security breakdown in Gaza that has made it nearly impossible to safely deliver food to starving Palestinians, much of the limited aid entering is being hoarded by gangs and merchants and sold at exorbitant prices.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says no one in Gaza is starving: “There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza. We enable humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to enter Gaza – otherwise, there would be no Gazans.”

UN aid chief Tom Fletcher says supplies delivered on Sunday during an Israeli military pause in parts of Gaza were "a drop in the ocean".
