ISRAEL has agreed to open three humanitarian routes into Gaza.

The Erez Gate in northern Gaza will reopen temporarily, for the first time since the bloody Israel-Hamas war began in October.

Ashdod Port will be opened for humanitarian deliveries, and more aid will be allowed to enter via the Kerem Shalom Crossing from Jordan.

It comes hours after US President Joe Biden warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the situation in the besieged enclave is “unacceptable”.

The re-opening of the corridors was understood to have been specifically requested by Mr Biden, BBC reports.

A phone call between the US president and Netanyahu followed the deaths of seven aid workers – including three Brits – who were killed by an “unintentional” airstrike in Gaza on Monday.

An Israeli air force squadron known as “Black Snake” is thought to have blitzed the aid convoy carrying the aid workers.
