الولايات المتحدة تحذر الكيان الإسرائيلي بشأن مساعدات غزة

October 16, 2024 - أبلغت الولايات المتحدة الدولة العبرية بضرورة اتخاذ خطوات لتحسين الوضع الإنساني في غزة أو مواجهة قيود محتملة ضدها على المساعدات العسكرية الأميركية.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin wrote to Israeli officials on Sunday demanding concrete measures to address the worsening situation in the Palestinian enclave amid a renewed Israeli offensive in northern Gaza that has reportedly caused a large number of civilian casualties.

The letter says the U.S. has deep concerns about the deteriorating humanitarian situation, adding that Israel denied or impeded nearly 90% of humanitarian movements between the north and south last month.

Israel has previously said it is targeting Hamas operatives in the north and not stopping the entry of humanitarian aid.

On Monday, the Israeli military body responsible for managing crossings into Gaza, Cogat, said 30 lorries carrying aid from the World Food Programme had entered northern Gaza through the Erez crossing.

That ended a two-week period during which the UN said no food aid was delivered to the north, and supplies essential for survival were running out for the 400,000 Palestinians there, according to the BBC.
