Humanitarian aid to Gaza must increase: US defense secretary

Washington [US], November 27: US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, in a conversation with his Israeli counterpart Yoav Gallant, spoke in favour of organizing humanitarian supplies throughout the Gaza Strip.
Hamas earlier accused Israel of blocking the delivery of aid to the northern part of the enclave and threatened to withdraw from the agreements on the release of hostages. "Secretary Austin shared his view that humanitarian aid must increase, and that civilians must have safe areas to receive aid across Gaza," the US Department of Defense said.
