Despite reports claiming that the #Biden administration has given Israel 30 days to address concerns about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, a senior official confirmed that the U.S. will not consider delaying arms shipments to Israel, even as the Israeli army persists in #starving thousands of Palestinians in northern Gaza.

"In the IPC’s five-tier classification of food crises, #Gaza now has the largest percentage of a population to receive its most severe rating since the body began reporting in 2004...

People in areas designated at Tier 5 are considered to be #starving & facing a significantly increased risk of acute malnutrition & #death.

...“This is 100% a man-made crisis. There’s no hurricane, there’s no cyclone, there’s no 100-year flood.”

“Is #Israel starving children in Palestine, or #Gaza?” #TomCotton asked apparently referring to reports by the #UN & #humanitarian orgs, as well as some Dems that Israel’s refusal to allow the necessary volume of food #aid… is causing a preventable #famine.
“The reality is that there are children who are #starving. They’re #malnourished, as a result of the fact that humanitarian assistance can’t get to them. It’s very difficult to distribute…effectively, unless you have a #CeaseFire” Burns said.

#ConsulateGeneral of #India in #Chicago is trying to locate a woman #student hailing from #Hyderabad who is reported to be depressed, #starving & has said that all assistance will be provided to her.

The woman, who hails from #Telangana & came to the US to pursue higher education, was seen on a street in Chicago on the verge of starvation. Her mother has written a letter to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar seeking his help to bring her back home.
