The US says Israel has not breached American laws on blocking aid supplies, after a 30-day deadline it gave Israel to boost humanitarian aid access in Gaza or risk having some military assistance cut off lapsed.
US Officials said on Tuesday that Israel has taken a number of steps to address its demands to surge supplies into Gaza, but added that more progress must be made.
State Department spokesman Vedant Patel cited the opening of a new land crossing, and deliveries resuming in the north although he did not say any had entered the besieged Jabalia refugee camp. Despite the US claims, the UN has warned that the amount of aid getting into Gaza is at its lowest level in a year.
