Germany has called the current level of humanitarian aid entering Gaza “very insufficient,” despite a slight increase in deliveries. Following a visit by Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, the German military carried out its first food airdrops into the territory, where over two million people face severe hunger, according to Firstpost.

Berlin stressed that Israel remains responsible for allowing full aid access, while also expressing concern over reports that Hamas and criminal groups are blocking distribution. UN officials have accused Israeli forces of turning a blind eye to aid theft by criminal networks.

Germany is now weighing options to pressure Israel, including a possible arms delivery freeze, though no decisions have been made, Firstpost reported.
