The United Nations reported that Israel missed the U.S.-imposed deadline to increase Gaza aid, risking reduced American military support. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had demanded Israel allow 350 trucks daily into Gaza by November 12 to address escalating humanitarian needs. According to the UN, only 40 trucks per day are entering Gaza, despite Israel’s claims of enhancing aid efforts, including reopening crossings like Kissufim. The UN warns of potential famine in northern Gaza, with families scrambling for food at bakeries. Israel accuses aid agencies of inadequate distribution, while the UN cites security issues as hindrances.
