International aid organizations have criticized Israel for failing to meet the humanitarian aid demands set by the United States. Out of 19 measures, Israel fully complied with none, partially fulfilling only four. The US had requested the entry of 350 aid trucks daily into Gaza and the opening of an additional crossing. However, the situation remains dire, with the UN reporting blocked humanitarian access and a looming famine.
In northern Gaza, areas like Jabalia face severe shortages, with long lines for food amid dwindling supplies. The UN has warned of potential famine, exacerbated by Israel's blockade and military actions. Aid organizations report that deliveries are often plundered, further limiting access to essential resources.
Despite these challenges, Israel recently opened the Kissufim crossing, aligning with US demands. However, more needs to be done to alleviate the humanitarian crisis. The European Union has pledged 30 million euros in aid to Lebanon, highlighting the regional impact. Meanwhile, the US continues to support Israel militarily, despite international concerns over human rights violations.
The humanitarian situation remains critical, with urgent calls for increased aid and international intervention to prevent further deterioration.
