The US has sent a letter to Israel, giving it 30 days to improve humanitarian aid access in Gaza or risk a reduction in military assistance. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin signed the letter. It expressed concerns over Israel's hindrance to aid movements and urged immediate action. Israel is currently conducting a military offensive in northern Gaza and says it is targeting Hamas operatives. The US letter calls for a minimum of 350 aid trucks per day to enter Gaza and an end to the isolation of northern Gaza.
