Israel has opened an additional aid crossing into Gaza in response to a US deadline to boost relief deliveries, but aid agencies argue that it is not enough. The United States had warned Israel to improve the humanitarian conditions in Gaza or risk a cut to its military support. The Israeli military opened the Kissufim crossing and delivered food, water, medical supplies, and shelter equipment to central and southern Gaza. However, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees and eight humanitarian groups claim that Israel has failed to comply with US demands, resulting in a dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. The situation is particularly critical in northern Gaza, where famine is imminent.
