  1. Israel says it will allow 'basic amount' of food into Gaza

    Welcome back to our live coverage - Israel says it will allow a "basic amount of food" to enter Gaza to ensure that "no starvation crisis develops", after blockading the Strip for 11 weeks.

    A statement from the prime minister's office says the move was made on recommendation of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

    "Israel will act to deny Hamas's ability to take control of the distribution of humanitarian assistance in order to ensure that the assistance does not reach the Hamas terrorists," it adds.

    Israel has come under increasing pressure to lift its blockade, during which no food, fuel or medicines have been allowed in.

    The announcement came hours after Israel's military said it had begun "extensive ground operations" throughout Gaza.
