Blinken: "The daily toll that the military operation takes on innocent civilians is still too high." He added: "Israel should open Erez Crossing so that assistance can flow to northern Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of people are struggling to survive under dire conditions. It should expedite the flow of humanitarian assistance from Jordan. It should strengthen de-confliction and improve coordination with the humanitarian providers. And Israel should make sure that the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza is not blocked for any reason, by anyone."
