Gaza saw its first day of relative calm in months Sunday, after Israel's military said it would 'pause' fighting daily around a southern route to facilitate aid flows, following repeated UN warnings of famine in the Palestinian territory. 'Compared with the previous days, today, the first day of Eid al-Adha, is considered near calm and the calm has prevailed across all of Gaza,' Mahmud Basal, spokesman for the civil defence agency in Hamas-ruled Gaza, told AFP. He said the exceptions included 'some targeting' in Gaza City's Shujaiya and Zeitun areas, as well as Israeli artillery fire in Rafah, southern Gaza.
