The Israeli government has agreed to open a "Humanitarian Corridor" to allow emergency supplies into Gaza. Apparently the government is trying to pretend there is a difference between Hamas and the people of Gaza, even though the latter elected Hamas to power. More from

The IDF will refrain from fire throughout Gaza City for a period of three hours, in order to enable a "humanitarian respite" for the people within the area of operation. This activity is scheduled to be implemented on a bi-daily basis. During this time, the Palestinians will be able to acquire basic necessities, replenish stock and seek aid from the various international organizations operating within the Gaza Strip. Today, Wednesday, the IDF will halt all fire in Gaza City from 13:00-16:00 (1:00-4:00 pm).
The second component of the humanitarian effort will enable approximately 80 trucks carrying medicine, medical supplies and basic food commodities to pass into Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing and approximately half a million liters of heavy duty diesel are scheduled to pass through the Nahal Oz terminal, as well as 60,000 liters of fuel to be transferred for the first time by truck via the Kerem Shalom crossing.
It can be assumed that Hamas will take maximum advantage of the humanitarian corridor to Gaza and will violate the scheduled ceasefires, as has happened countless times in the past.
