On November 12, the Israeli military announced the opening of a new crossing for humanitarian aid deliveries into Gaza, coinciding with a US-imposed deadline for increased assistance. Despite this, NGOs argue that aid remains inadequate for the escalating humanitarian crisis affecting civilians. The US confirmed Israel’s legal compliance yet urged further progress. As the conflict enters its 404th day, the UN warns of looming starvation in Gaza, where aid levels fall short of the 350 truck daily target set by the US. Over 43,665 people have reportedly died in the ongoing war, primarily civilians.
