Aid to Gaza has fallen to its lowest level since the war began, despite the US warning Israel that military assistance could be at risk if conditions did not improve.
US secretary of state Antony Blinken and secretary of defence Lloyd Austin wrote to the Israeli government on October 13 giving Israel 30 days to “surge all forms of humanitarian assistance” in the strip and “end isolation of northern Gaza” immediately.
But humanitarian officials say that conditions have deteriorated still further since the leaked letter was sent two weeks ago.
Only 704 truckloads of humanitarian aid entered the strip between October 1 and October 22, according to the UN, a sharp decline from the rate of entries the previous month; 3,000 truckloads entered the strip in September.
The aid arrivals represent a fraction of the quantities demanded by the US, which said in its warning letter that a minimum of 350 truckloads should enter Gaza each day. A total of 246 truckloads entered the strip in the week before the letter, UN data showed, and 232 the following week.Gaza’s north remains largely cut off from aid and under heavy bombardment, with tens of thousands of residents displaced under forced evacuation orders."
