With Tuesday marking the end of the Biden administration’s window for the Israeli government to materially improve the humanitarian response in war-torn Gaza, international aid organizations are condemning the country’s failure to meet U.S. demands and, in some cases, outright worsening the crisis that has devastated Palestinians for the last 13 months.
“Israel not only failed to meet the U.S. criteria that would indicate support to the humanitarian response, but concurrently took action that dramatically worsened the situation on the ground, particularly in Northern Gaza,” eight aid organizations said in a report on Tuesday. “That situation is in an even more dire state today than a month ago.”
The damning report by Oxfam, Save the Children, MedGlobal, Anera, CARE, Mercy Corps, Refugees International and the Norwegian Refugee Council rates Israel’s progress in complying with the U.S. letter’s humanitarian demands.
Evaluating 19 measures of relief, the organizations’ scorecard found Israel to be noncompliant on 15, partially compliant on four and fully compliant on zero.
