US urges Israel to address humanitarian crisis in Gaza as aid concerns grow
Summary: The U.S. has urged Israel to address the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, warning of potential restrictions on military aid if conditions do not improve. The U.S. envoy emphasized the need for Israel to allow essential supplies into Gaza.
Israel's parliament recently voted to restrict the operations of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides vital aid to Palestinians. This decision has drawn international condemnation, with calls for the International Court of Justice to clarify Israel's obligations as an occupying power.
Countries like Norway, the UK, and Germany have expressed concerns over the impact of Israel's actions on humanitarian aid. They are considering sanctions and reviewing trade ties with Israel if the restrictions on UNRWA are enforced.
