The United States has made significant progress in developing a framework to provide humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip, according to National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby.
Kirby told CBS Morning on Tuesday that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had met with Israel’s wartime cabinet for seven hours the day before to work on the framework. However, he noted that no assistance had been provided yet.
The situation in Gaza has become increasingly dire in recent days as the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues. On Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike hit al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, which had been packed with wounded and other Palestinians seeking shelter. The Gaza Health Ministry reported that hundreds of people were killed in the attack.
The United Nations has called for an immediate ceasefire in the region, and the US is hoping that the framework they are developing will help to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Kirby said that the US is hoping to provide food, water, and medicine to those in need, as well as arrange for those who want to leave the region to do so safely.
The US is continuing to work with the international community to find a solution to the conflict in Gaza, and to provide much-needed humanitarian assistance to those affected by the violence.
