Israel resumed airdrop aid to Gaza on Saturday night, the Israeli military said, a few days after more than 100 agencies warned that mass starvation was spreading across the enclave. CBC News spoke to a mom who says her six-month-old died due to lack of formula.

Humanitarian chiefs are deeply sceptical that air drops can deliver enough food to tackle the deepening hunger crisis facing Gaza's more than two million inhabitants. They are instead demanding that Israel allow more overland convoys. But British Prime Minister Keir Starmer backed the idea, vowing to work with Jordan to restart air drops.

The Israeli military says it is starting airdrops of aid into Gaza, and will establish so-called "humanitarian corridors" to allow United Nations convoys to take food through the strip.
