U.S. Criticizes Israel's Humanitarian Aid Efforts in Gaza

The Biden administration warns Israel of potential military aid restrictions as it fails to meet humanitarian aid targets for Gaza.

  • The U.S. has given Israel a 'fail' grade for not meeting the required humanitarian aid levels to Gaza, as outlined in a letter from Secretary Blinken and Secretary Austin.
  • Israel was expected to allow at least 350 aid trucks per day into Gaza, but by the end of October, the average was only 71 trucks per day.
  • The U.S. deadline for Israel to improve its aid efforts is approaching, with potential military assistance restrictions if the situation does not improve.
  • The U.S. is also concerned about recent Israeli settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, calling for accountability and protection for affected communities.
  • Israel's decision to end an agreement with UNRWA, the main aid provider in Gaza, has been criticized by the U.N., which argues the agency is essential for humanitarian efforts.
