The U.S. has reportedly influenced the retraction of a famine warning for northern Gaza, leading to significant backlash from humanitarian organizations. Tensions have escalated as an aid report, previously backed by the U.S., was removed after claims it was inaccurate and outdated. Aid groups are voicing deep concerns over the humanitarian situation, highlighting that only a minimal amount of emergency food aid has reached the people in desperate need. Systematic looting of aid has complicated efforts to deliver crucial resources, with reports indicating that gangs are stealing from aid trucks under the watch of authorities. Despite a grim food security assessment suggesting a famine scenario, U.S. officials have publicly criticized the narrative, raising alarm over what they describe as irresponsible rhetoric. Meanwhile, the international community continues to call for a resolution to the ongoing violence that further exacerbates the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
