US EditionHamas says it will allow aid for hostages if Israel halts airstrikes, opens permanent humanitarian corridors
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 3 – Hamas conditions aid delivery for hostages on Israel opening corridors and stopping airstrikes, while only 20 of 50 hostages are believed alive, Israeli officials said.
- On August 3, 2025, Hamas said it would allow the Red Cross to deliver aid to the 50 hostages it holds in Gaza if Israel stops airstrikes and opens humanitarian corridors.
- This offer follows Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack that killed over 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, fueling a prolonged and deadly conflict in Gaza.
- The Hostages Families Forum expressed support for possible Red Cross involvement and called for the swift return of all detainees as humanitarian conditions deteriorate, including deaths from starvation.
- Gaza faces a humanitarian disaster with 175 starvation deaths since the war began, fuel shortages impairing hospitals, and Israel recently allowing limited aid deliveries including four UN fuel trucks.
- The developments suggest fragile prospects for aid delivery tied to ceasefires and ongoing international demands for a comprehensive deal to release hostages and alleviate Gaza’s crisis.
