At least six medical aid missions currently operating inside the Gaza Strip received orders this week from the Israeli government that they would no longer be allowed access to their patients in the enclave.
WHO pressed for “urgent and sustained facilitation of entry for EMTs into Gaza”, and said there has been widespread malnutrition and rampant disease across the Strip.
No food or aid of any kind has entered northern Gaza since 1 October.

It will be interesting to find out what the US does having given Israel a deadline to get aid in to Gaza, what is the benchmark for this. Gaza needs 100s of tons of aid per day, if they get 1 aid truck, that has been allowed in. They could argue that aid has been let in.

They won't do anything because this is just talk to get a better election result for Harris and to pretend that the United States cares about international and domestic laws.

The US government’s special envoy for West Asian humanitarian issues, Lise Grande, told the heads of over a dozen aid organizations that Washington “would not consider withholding weapons from Israel for blocking food and medicine from entering [Gaza],” according to POLITICO.
