The Israeli military allowed humanitarian aid into Gaza for the first time in more than 11 weeks. It came after Britain, France and Canada threatened to sanction Israel if it did not provide assistance.

Despite the announcement, no aid had entered Gaza by mid-afternoon Monday. Aid trucks that were briefly parked on the Israeli side of a border crossing turned back and drove away.

Israel announces that it will allow some aid into Gaza, after a nearly three-month blockade. It also says it has begun 'extensive' new ground operations.

Israel says it will allow a limited amount of humanitarian aid into Gaza. It says it doesn't want a ''starvation crisis'' jeopardizing its new military offensive in the territory of over 2 million Palestinians.

After a nearly three-month blockade and warnings by global experts of impeding famine, Israel says it will allow a limited amount of humanitarian aid into Gaza even as it launches “extensive” new ground operations there.
