Israel’s army is expected to begin another 10-hour pause in military activity in parts of Gaza as aid agencies call on all border crossings to be opened.

"President Trump wants to alleviate suffering for the people of Gaza because he has a humanitarian heart. He announced a new aid plan today to help Gazans obtain crucial access to food – details are forthcoming," White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said in a comment to ABC News.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says no one in Gaza is starving. President Donald Trump disagrees and notes the images emerging of emaciated people.

The local pause in fighting came days after ceasefire efforts between Israel and Hamas appeared to be in doubt.

Aid agencies say many Gazans are hungry and malnourished. Amal Nassar says her family is among them, and price gouging is making things worse.

While Canada is not joining France in recognizing a Palestinian state, it is funding the Palestinian Authority's preparations to lead a globally recognized country that includes Gaza and the West Bank.

A newborn died Monday afternoon, hours after she was delivered in a surgery following the killing of her mother in Gaza Strip, a hospital said.

Accompanying the ongoing physical combat is an "information warfare" being fought on both sides, with influences often hidden to news consumers.
