Northern Gaza at imminent risk of famine, WHO says

Northern Gaza is at risk of imminent famine, the World Health Organization said on Saturday, as Israel continues its bombardment across Gaza amid threats by the Biden administration to limit military assistance to Israel if it did not allow more humanitarian aid into the enclave.

Northern Gaza is at risk of imminent famine, the World Health Organization said on Saturday, as Israel continues its bombardment across Gaza amid threats by the Biden administration to limit military assistance to Israel if it did not allow more humanitarian aid into the enclave.

The Biden administration gave Israel a Nov. 12 deadline to take specific steps to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza, but the continuity of U.S. policies towards Israel has become uncertain as President Joe Biden enters a lame duck period following Donald Trump’s election on Tuesday.

While Biden's policies and weapons provisions have consistently supported Israel, his relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has at times been strained, including by some efforts to restrain Israel or nudge the country towards compliance with international law.

Trump, meanwhile, has staunchly supported Israel's “right to win its war on terror,” and Netanyahu and other Israeli officials have greeted his election with enthusiasm. Netanyahu was among the first world leaders to congratulate Trump in a phone call, and in an effusive post on X, called Trump's victory “history’s greatest comeback.”

Trump’s election sparked celebrations in Israel, and has fueled concerns among observers of further escalation amid a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
