US backed away from its deadline to limit weapon shipments to Israel over Gaza aid restrictions. Food deliveries hit record-low levels while millions of Palestinians depend on international support

The US administration stepped back from its earlier warning to Benjamin Netanyahuʼs government about weapon shipments; despite Gaza aid reaching its lowest point since jan-2024. The tuesday deadline – which was meant to push Israel to ease border restrictions – passed without any changes to military support

Food assistance to Gaza faces major hold-ups at checkpoints (a situation thatʼs gotten worse over time): experts point to critical shortages in the northern parts. The areaʼs 2.3-million Palestinian population now relies on foreign help for basic needs – a direct result of the mid-east conflict thats been going since oct-2023

The current aid-flow shows a down-trend; with humanitarian groups saying the situation is getting real bad. Food-security specialists warn about possible mass-hunger in north Gaza: where getting supplies through check-points has become extra-hard. The border-crossing rules make it near-impossible to maintain steady aid delivery; which impacts hospitals schools and shelter areas
