"Israel and Aid Groups Discuss Gaza Assistance with Jake Sullivan"

Humanitarian organizations met with White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan to discuss the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza. The groups emphasized that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is necessary for aid to reach those in need. While the administration maintains that a ceasefire is not an option, they are exploring short-term solutions to improve conditions. The meeting also discussed alternate routes for aid delivery, the need for a deconfliction channel, and access to water. The administration has faced criticism for its response to the crisis, and the situation on the ground for aid groups remains extremely dire.
