Israel Faces Criticism Over Humanitarian Aid Shortfalls in Gaza

 

International aid organizations have reported that Israel has not met the U.S. demands to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Despite a 30-day deadline set by the Biden administration, which included requirements such as allowing a minimum of 350 truckloads of goods into Gaza daily and opening an additional crossing, Israel has fallen short.

The U.S. had warned that failure to comply could lead to a reduction in military support.

Aid groups, including the Norwegian Refugee Council and Save the Children, have highlighted that the humanitarian conditions in Gaza are now worse than at any point in the 13-month conflict.

The situation remains critical, with international pressure mounting on Israel to take more substantial actions to alleviate the suffering of civilians in Gaza.
