Gaza Aid Crisis Worsens Despite U.S. Pressure on Israel

Humanitarian aid access in Gaza has reached a critical low, contradicting U.S. claims of progress.

The United Nations reports that aid access in Gaza is severely restricted, particularly in the besieged northern areas, with significant challenges in delivering essential supplies.
Despite a U.S. ultimatum to Israel to improve aid flow or risk losing military support, the White House has decided not to impose punitive measures, citing limited progress.
International aid groups highlight a dire humanitarian situation, with malnutrition and potential famine affecting large portions of Gaza's population.
Aid deliveries remain far below pre-war levels, with logistical and security challenges exacerbated by Israeli military operations and internal lawlessness.
Tensions between Israel and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) continue, with Israel accusing the agency of harboring Hamas members, a claim UNRWA denies.
