White House: Israel Risks Losing Funding if Humanitarian Aid to Gaza Isn't Increased
World
The Biden administration has issued a warning to Israel, stating that it must increase the humanitarian aid sent to Gaza within 30 days or risk losing access to funds allocated for purchasing weapons. This warning comes as the humanitarian crisis in the region deepens.
Israeli airstrikes on Jabalia and Khan Younis killed at least 40 people on Tuesday, with dozens more injured. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Israeli forces have fully cut off northern Gaza from the rest of the territory.
The White House has expressed concerns that 90% of humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza were blocked by Israel. People forced into crowded and dangerous zones are at extreme risk due to evacuation orders, and further restrictions on aid could worsen the crisis.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah leader Na’im Qassem announced plans to target more Israeli cities, including Haifa and Tel Aviv. This statement was made on the same day that the U.S. sent troops to Israel to support its missile defense system.
Over the past year, Hezbollah has fired up to 13,000 rockets at Israel, displacing over 70,000 residents. Israel has stated that its military operations are aimed at ensuring the safety of families and enabling their return home.
In northern Lebanon, an Israeli airstrike killed 22 people on Monday. The UN has called for an independent investigation into the attack.
