As Israel continues its assault on Gaza, there may be rising concern over humanitarian circumstances within the besieged enclave.
Earlier than the Israel-Hamas battle, greater than 500 help vans entered Gaza daily by way of 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 briefly reopened the route by way of Karem Abu Salem, referred to as Kerem Shalom by Israel, to permit in additional humanitarian help.
At the very least 24 vans have been allowed by way of – however the deliveries are far wanting fulfilling the wants of two.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.
Ought to the USA, 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?
