The US State Department asserted that Israel has not violated laws related to blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza, despite a significant decrease in aid delivery, as warned by the UN. Following a 30-day deadline issued by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, officials indicated Israel has taken steps to increase supplies but acknowledged more is needed. The UN reports a dire situation in northern Gaza, where famine is imminent due to restricted access, and humanitarian agencies highlight deteriorating conditions since the US intervention. The Israeli military claims to have intensified aid efforts, but skepticism remains regarding civilian safety.
