The US has issued a stern warning to Israel, demanding that it enhance humanitarian aid access in Gaza within 30 days or risk reductions in military assistance. This letter, signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, highlights the dire humanitarian crisis, stating that 1.7 million displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi face severe overcrowding and health risks. The US accused Israel of impeding nearly 90% of aid movements last month. Israeli officials acknowledged the letter and plan to address the concerns raised, while the US emphasized compliance with humanitarian laws.
