Blinken calls on Israel to boost humanitarian aid for Gaza crisis

gazette.com November 5, 2024, 01:01 AM UTC

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Israel to significantly increase humanitarian aid to Gaza during a call with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. This request comes amid a severe humanitarian crisis in the region.

The U.S. previously set a 30-day deadline for Israel to address the worsening conditions in Gaza, where nearly the entire population of 2.3 million has been displaced. Aid workers report critical shortages of food and medicine.

The conflict escalated after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, leading to a large-scale Israeli military response in Gaza. The violence has resulted in significant casualties on both sides.
