Blinken to present list of Gaza aid measures during Israel visit

On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he would present a list of further actions required from Israel's leaders to facilitate the increased delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza, ahead of scheduled meetings in Israel on Wednesday.

Speaking to reporters at a warehouse of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization, Blinken announced that aid shipments from US-based charities were being assembled.

He also said that the initial aid shipments directly from Jordan to the Erez crossing, also known as the Beit Hanoun crossing, in northern Gaza would depart on Tuesday.
