As Israel continues its assault on Gaza, there may be rising concern over humanitarian circumstances within the besieged enclave.
Earlier than the Israel-Hamas conflict, greater than 500 help vans entered Gaza day-after-day via the Karem Abu Salem crossing with Israel and the Rafah crossing with Egypt.
These deliveries halted when Israel imposed an entire blockade on October 7 after Hamas carried out assaults on southern Israel.
Israel has quickly reopened the route via Karem Abu Salem, referred to as Kerem Shalom by Israel, to permit in additional humanitarian help.
At the least 24 vans have been allowed via – however the deliveries are far wanting fulfilling the wants of two.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.
Ought to the US, a staunch ally of Israel, be doing extra to assist the Palestinians? And the way complicit is Washington within the humanitarian disaster that has unfolded?
