US notes boosted aid to north Gaza after ‘unacceptable’ 2-week halt, says amount must increase further
So gracious of them.
[IsraelTimes] The US notes the uptick in humanitarian aid that Israel has allowed into northern Gaza after an “unacceptable” two-week halt on all assistance reaching that part of the Strip at the beginning of the month, adding that the subsequent increase must be sustained.

“We note the resumption of deliveries this week into northern Gaza, including through the vital lifeline from Jordan, with 129 trucks entering northern Gaza this week, after an unacceptable slowdown since October 1st,” says National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett.

“That number must further increase over the coming week, and we are grateful for Jordan’s leadership in organizing these deliveries,” he adds in a statement, adding that the US is working to boost aid into Gaza and appreciates the airdrops of assistance that the UAE has constructed in recent days.

The US sent a letter to Israel on October 13, warning that it has 30 days to take significant steps to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza or risk the continued supply of some offensive weapons.

Israel says 114 aid trucks entered Gaza yesterday, with 600 waiting to be collected
As of this morning, Israel time:
[IsraelTimes] Israel says 114 trucks carrying humanitarian aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom and Erez crossings yesterday.

The Israeli body overseeing humanitarian aid, COGAT, says that while 21 trucks were collected from the Gazan side of the Kerem Shalom crossing by international organizations, some 600 trucks worth of aid were still waiting for collection.

COGAT says a convoy of 24 trucks crossed through Gate 96 into northern Gaza.
