U.S. sets 30-day deadline for Israel to boost humanitarian aid to Gaza

cbsnews.com November 11, 2024, 05:01 PM UTC

The U.S. has given Israel a 30-day deadline to significantly increase humanitarian aid to Gaza, which is nearing. Currently, aid trucks entering Gaza have increased from 30 to about 150 daily, but this is still below the required 350 trucks. Despite the increase, the United Nations reports that aid is still insufficient due to ongoing Israeli restrictions and military actions. Israeli officials express confidence in resolving the aid issue with the U.S., as President Isaac Herzog prepares to meet President Biden. The situation may change with the upcoming U.S. administration under President-elect Donald Trump, who has criticized current Israeli tactics but has not outlined a plan for addressing humanitarian concerns in Gaza.
