Israel delivers humanitarian aid to Gaza following US warning on missile supplies
Summary: On October 18, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) delivered 30 trucks of humanitarian aid to Gaza. This action followed a warning from the U.S. about potentially reducing missile supplies to Israel if more aid was not allowed into the region.
The aid included food, water, medical supplies, and shelter equipment, transported through the Erez West Crossing. The IDF stated that the aid was inspected for security before being sent from the Port of Ashdod.
The U.S. defense secretary and secretary of state previously informed Israeli officials that Israel has 30 days to increase aid deliveries to Gaza. Failure to do so may lead to a review of U.S. weapon supplies to Israel.
