The Biden administration sidestepped its own 30-day deadline for Israel to provide significantly more humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip or face a weapons cutoff, saying only that some progress has been made.

Palestinian medical officials said Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed at least 31 people in the past 24 hours while eight international aid groups said Tuesday that Israel has failed to meet U.S. demands that it allow greater humanitarian access to the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, where conditions are worse than at any point in the 13-month-old war.
