US says Israel hasn't breached its law against blocking aid in Gaza

The U.S. has stated that Israel has not violated American laws on aid access to Gaza, even as a 30-day deadline to boost supplies has expired. While Israel took steps, such as opening a new land crossing, the Biden administration maintains that further action is needed to improve humanitarian access.

State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel noted resumed aid deliveries in northern Gaza, though he did not confirm if they reached the heavily impacted Jabalia camp. Meanwhile, the UN reports that aid levels remain critically low, marking the lowest point in a year.

A UN-backed report warns of potential famine in northern Gaza due to the severe shortage of aid. UN official Joyce Msuya highlighted that current conditions could constitute international humanitarian violations.
