White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has said that famine conditions in parts of Gaza were “imminent”, according to Al Jazeera.
“That is why we’re doing everything we can to uptick, obviously, the humanitarian aid” arriving into Gaza, Jean-Pierre said, noting that the number of trucks carrying aid into Gaza has increased dramatically in recent days.
“We know how dire the situation is in Gaza, so we are certainly deeply concerned about these reports,” Jean-Pierre said. “We have been working around the clock, around the clock, to get more of that aid into Gaza.”
She added that the US would “continue to push Israel to increase the flow” of aid into Gaza.
