Israel misses US deadline to boost humanitarian help for Gaza, aid groups say  | AP News

Israel has failed to meet U.S. demands to allow greater humanitarian access to the Gaza Strip, where conditions are worse than at any point in the 13-month-old war, international aid organizations said Tuesday.

In Washington, however, the Biden administration was less definitive, saying Tuesday that the steps Israel has taken are welcome although not enough to make a dramatic improvement.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken stressed in a Monday meeting with Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer “the importance of ensuring those changes lead to an actual improvement in the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, including through the delivery of additional assistance to civilians throughout Gaza,” the State Department said.

Blinken “further reiterated the importance that Israel take every possible step to minimize civilian harm,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement.
