Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says it's necessary to resume Gaza aid as famine images prove unpopular with allies. Meanwhile, the Israeli military has ordered the evacuation of the territory's second city.
Israel says it will allow limited food aid into Gaza, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying it was necessary to avoid famine for "practical and diplomatic reasons."
Netanyahu warned that close allies won't tolerate "images of mass starvation."
The Israeli premier has been facing a backlash from far-right coalition partners over the decision.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military has told residents of Khan Younis — Gaza's second-largest city — to evacuate immediately, warning of an "unprecedented attack" on Hamas militants.
