Israel Criticized for Insufficient Gaza Aid Delivery

Despite pressure from the United States, Israel has not met the U.S. deadline to significantly increase humanitarian aid delivery to Gaza, with reports indicating only partial compliance. The Biden administration had stipulated that at least 350 aid trucks should enter Gaza daily and an additional crossing be opened. However, as of the deadline, only a fraction of the required aid is being delivered, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has worsened, with reports of famine and severe shortages. The U.S. had warned of potential military aid consequences if these conditions were not met, but as of now, no specific actions have been taken. Critics, including eight humanitarian organizations, argue that Israel's efforts have not only fallen short but have exacerbated the humanitarian situation. While Israel has made some efforts, such as opening the Kissufim crossing and delivering aid to northern Gaza, these measures have been deemed insufficient.
