The United States has said it wants to resume humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, while continuing to support Israel in its war of extermination against the Palestinians. The United States has continued to close the Gaza Strip's crossings since March 2.

"We want to resume humanitarian aid," US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said during a press conference Thursday evening, commenting on the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

She indicated that Washington wants to resume the delivery of humanitarian supplies and aid "as long as they can be transported safely, as long as there is no looting, and as long as people are not robbed."

Since March 2, Israel has closed the Gaza Strip's crossings to the entry of food, relief, medical aid, and goods, causing a significant deterioration in the humanitarian situation for Palestinians, according to government, human rights, and international reports.

With full American support, Israel has been committing genocidal crimes in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 170,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, amid massive destruction.
